Picquart is convinced of Dreyfus' innocence and tries to reopen the trial to exonerate him and arrest Esterhazy, but meets the opposition of his superiors: admitting Dreyfus' innocence would result in a great scandal that would lead to the discovery of corruption in the army, while the man, as a Jew, is the perfect scapegoat. According to Picquart, he is the real spy, but the evidence has been prejudiced or even falsified to the detriment of Dreyfus. Picquart discovers that the so-called bordereau, the document that would prove his guilt, was not written by Dreyfus, as the graphologist Alphonse Bertillon had declared, but by another soldier: Major Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy. The man, despite anti-Semitic sentiments, is aware that the trial against Dreyfus was rather summary and biased by his origin therefore, noticing some irregularities in the dossier of the affair, he decides to conduct an investigation to verify the man's guilt. One year later, officer Georges Picquart, former superior of Dreyfus himself, is appointed head of the secret service section in the French army ( Deuxième Bureau). He is degraded and condemned to exile on Devil's Island his affair triggers a noticeable echo in France since Dreyfus is Jewish. Alfred Dreyfus, captain of the French army, is found guilty of high treason for passing military secrets to the German Empire.

The name J'Accuse has its origins in Emile Zola's bold article in l'Aurore in January 1898 in which the famous author accused many persons of France of continuing to support the increasingly-blatantly erroneous accusations of Dreyfus.
