Accused (Dutch: Lucia de B.) is a 2014 drama film directed by Paula van der Oest and written by Moniek Kramer. The film is based on the Lucia de Berk case, a miscarriage of justice in the Netherlands, in which a paediatric nurse was wrongfully sentenced to life imprisonment, with no possibility of parole, for the death of four patients under her care. The film was selected as the Dutch entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards, making the January Shortlist. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
