Badinter contre la peine de mort, le procès Patrick Henry

Lawyer Robert Badinter steps into a life-or-death duel with the justice system, defending Patrick Henry, accused of a child's murder. 1970s France holds its breath: society clamors for the ultimate punishment, the press fuels a frenzy, and the trial becomes a battle for the nation's very soul. Archival footage, testimonies from contemporaries, and reconstructions of key courtroom moments weave a tense narrative of one man challenging the instinct for vengeance, defending the inviolability of human life in the face of overwhelming public hatred.
