Dreyfus Meets His Wife at Rennes

The director chose an episode from Dreyfus' private life, which logically achieved a strong emotional effect. Dreyfus had not seen his wife for four years, which in itself was tragic to the audience. For the first time, the character of the lawyer Labori appears here, played by the director himself, who also sided with the accused in real life. This episode is very important because it shows Méliès as a politically-minded man who was not afraid to express his views in public. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
