The Old Docker
Watch TrailerA re-enactment of the Jules Durand case. In 1910, Jean Jaurès [leader of the French socialist movement] took the lead in defending a working-class coal miner, Jules Durand, accused of complicity in and condemned to death for the murder of a labor leader. As in the Dreyfus Affair, a false dossier had been used to convict Durand. Jaurès argued that the memory of the Dreyfus Affair saved Durand, calling the case the working class’s Dreyfus Affair.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative as a judicial chronicle, relying on the documentary basis of the real case. It explores the mechanisms of fabricated charges and the power of public resonance, using the concise yet expressive means of silent cinema.
Those who tire of simplistic dramas will find a compelling early example of the courtroom as a political arena. What lingers after viewing is a stark reminder of the enduring fight for justice. — MovieFinder Editorial
