L'Affaire Christian Ranucci : le combat d'une mère est un téléfilm français réalisé par Denys Granier-Deferre réalisé en 2006 et diffusé en 2007.

Synopsis

Le 5 juin 1974 Christian Ranucci, vingt ans, est interpellé à son domicile. Officiellement pour un délit de fuite après un accrochage qui a eu lieu deux jours plus tôt. En fait, il est soupçonné d'avoir enlevé la petite Maria Dolores Rambla, huit ans, et de l'avoir sauvagement assassinée. Un geste atroce, qui scandalise la France entière. En garde à vue, le petit frère de la victime ne reconnaît pas Christian Ranucci. Pas plus qu'un couple témoin de l'accident. Après dix-huit heures d'interrogatoire, le jeune homme passe aux aveux, puis se rétracte et fait état des pressions que les enquêteurs lui ont fait subir. Il est vrai qu'il subsiste de nombreuses zones d'ombre. En outre, certains détails ne collent pas. Pourtant, seule la mère de l'accusé, Héloïse Mathon, croit en son innocence. Le procès s'ouvre dans un climat tendu, quelques semaines après un autre meurtre d'enfant. Face à une opinion déchaînée, Héloïse fait front. Elle décide de tenter tout ce qui est en son pouvoir pour sauver son fils, qui sera condamné à mort et guillotiné, le président de la République ayant refusé de le gracier.

Having survived the hatred and bigotry that was his Klansman grandfather Sam Cayhall's (Hackman) only legacy, young attorney Adam Hall (O'Donnell) seeks to appeal the old man's death sentence for the murder of two Jewish children 30 years ago. Only 28 days before Cayhall is to be executed, Adam meets his grandfather for the first time in the Mississippi State Penitentiary which has held him since his conviction in 1980. The meeting is predictably tense when the educated, young Mr. "Hall" confronts his venom-spewing elder, Mr. "Cayhall" about the murders. The next day, headlines run proclaiming Adam the grandson who has come to the state to save his grandfather, the infamous Ku Klux Klan bomber.

Trois marins allemands naufragés, le lieutenant Düren, l'enseigne Stahmer et le Maat Hinze, sont sauvés par un sous-marin allemand. Après s'être avérés être les seuls survivants du naufrage du navire de guerre Pommern, ils sont d'abord célébrés en tant que héros et décorés. Cependant un enquêteur note des incohérences dans les rapports des trois et suppose la possibilité qu'ils ont délibérément quitté le navire par intérêt personnel. Un procès est annoncé avec l'accusation de désertion. En raison de cette union personnelle, eux et l'avocat de la défense des trois hommes, inexpérimenté en matière de juridiction militaire, n'obtiennent pas le rejet du procès qu'ils considèrent à charge dans le sens de la dénazification. Au début, les trois affirment leur innocence, mais à mesure qu’ils deviennent de plus en plus incohérents, ils concèdent un à un qu'ils ont quitté le navire prématurément. Ils affirment, en partie fortement émus, que tous leurs camarades étaient morts, rester sur le navire n’aurait entraîné qu'une mort inutile sans bénéfice pour autrui. Tous les trois sont condamnés à mort.
