Boston, início dos anos 20. Nicola Sacco (Riccardo Cucciolla) e Bartolomeo Vanzetti (Gian Maria Volonté) são dois imigrantes italianos, sendo o primeiro um sapateiro e o outro um peixeiro, que são detidos pela polícia. Ninguém negava que eram anarquistas, na verdade eles mesmo admitiam, pois acreditavam que era a única forma de o homem não ser explorado pelo homem. Porém era duvidoso que Sacco e Vanzetti fossem culpados de um assassinato, que aconteceu em 15 de abril de 1920. O julgamento deles deixou de ser algo baseado na justiça e sim na política, pois deviam ser condenados por serem estrangeiros e seguirem uma doutrina política que se opunha ao conservadorismo, que tinha as rédeas do poder nos Estados Unidos.

O ator Paul Muni foi o rei das chamadas cinebiografias nos Anos Dourados de Hollywood, criando uma galeria de grande interpretações. Warner Bros era o estúdio de maior evidência na época entre o gosto popular, oferecendo ao público, produções arrebatadoras e polêmicas, banhadas de contestação social. Estas duas forças do estrelato e do humanitarismo se uniram em 1937, neste marco da cinematografia: Emile Zola foi a primeira produção da Warner a ganhar o Oscar de Melhor Filme (ainda recebeu outras 10 indicações e 3 estatuetas). O filme narra a ascensão do escritor francês Emile Zola e seu envolvimento na defesa do capitão Alfred Dreyfus, um militar condenado injustamente sob a acusação de traição apenas por ser judeu. Na verdade, ele passa a se interessar pelo caso somente quando procurado pela esposa de Dreyfus, e desafia os militares publicando o famoso J'accuse, um manifesto a favor do capitão.

The Nature of the Beast explores the life and case of a woman, Bonnie Jean Foreshaw, who was subjected to years of abuse, as a child and in three separate marriages. At the age of thirty-eight, Ms Foreshaw was found guilty of first degree murder when, in a moment of panic, she accidentally shot and killed a pregnant woman in an attempt to protect herself from a man who was physically assaulting her at a gas station in Hartford, Connecticut. Both her assailant and victim were complete strangers to Ms. Foreshaw. Although the man later testified in court that he had pulled the pregnant woman in front of him as a shield when he saw Ms. Foreshaw take out her hand gun, she was nevertheless found guilty of pre-meditated murder. Ms. Foreshaw is now serving the longest prison sentence of any woman in Connecticut—45 years—without the possibility of parole.
