"Prisoner of Honor" is a 1991 television movie made by Warner Bros. Television and distributed by HBO about the French Dreyfus Affair. It was directed by Ken Russell and produced by Richard Dreyfuss and Judith James from a screenplay by Ron Hutchinson.

Plot

The film documents the events that saw a French Captain, Alfred Dreyfus, sent to Devil's Island for espionage near the end of the nineteenth century. Colonel Georges Picquart (Richard Dreyfuss) is given the job of justifying Dreyfus' sentence. Instead, he discovers that Dreyfus (Kenneth Colley), a Jew, was merely a convenient scapegoat for the actions of the true culprit, a member of the French General staff. His attempt to right the wrong sees his military career ended and the famous French author, Emile Zola (Martin Friend), found guilty of libel.
