Crimes That Changed the World S01 E01 From Jack the Ripper to the Dreyfus Affair

Episode 1 is dedicated to four 18th- and 19th-century crimes that changed the world. Among them is the French case surrounding the death of the Calas family’s eldest son. The dubious entanglements between the state, the church and the judiciary inspire Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire to get involved and spark a discussion about religious freedom in Europe.
