The Du Plantier Case
Directed by Darragh Byrne
On the 23rd of December 1996, the body of Sophie Toscan du Plantier was found on a laneway outside her holiday home near Schull. She had been due to travel back to France to spend Christmas with her husband, Daniel Toscan du Plantier and her son. Sophie’s murder was a devastating event, sending fear and shock waves across the local community in Cork and back to her family in Paris. Over 20 years later her family are still looking for answers. The Du Plantier Case tells the story of one of the most infamous murders in recent Irish history, looking at the case from both sides, a heartbroken family searching for the truth and a man campaigning for his innocence. Two conflicting stories, inextricably bound by one terrible crime.
