Synopsis

The Outreau trial in 2003 – in which 18 people were accused of child abuse – was one of the most sensational court cases in French history. Here it is told from the point of view of Alain Marécaux, one of the “presumed guilty” who risked even his of life claiming his innocence. This is the story of how one man fought for himself against everything and everyone because the pursuit of justice is, above all, the search for the truth. –Venice Days
