The Life of Emile Zola

He'll hold you in silence as deep as your emotions!

This fictionalized account follows Émile Zola as he struggles to establish himself, then achieves success by documenting the unsavory side of Paris and settles into a comfortable upper-class life. His complacency is shaken when Jewish officer Alfred Dreyfus is imprisoned for espionage. Realizing Dreyfus is an innocent victim of anti-Semitism, Zola boldly pens an exposé, only to be charged with libel and forced to defend himself in a dramatic courtroom testimony.
