Identify all visuals and connect.Answer: The connect is Captain Alfred Dreyfus and the Dreyfus affair. The first visual shows Dreyfus being cashiered, the second visual is the poster for the movie The life of Emile Zola and the third is Julia Louis Dreyfus from Seinfeld. Emile Zola wrote a rousing open letter to the French president titled J'accuse in which he accused the government of Anti-Semitism and wrongful imprisonment of Dreyfus. The actress is a distant relative of the Captain. Vijay, Raghu, Manix, Divya, Swapnaa and Iam got it. Well done.

The second is movie cover of Life of Emile Zola which is a movie on friendship between Emile Zola and Alfred Dreyfus and how Emile helped Alfred escape false charges.

#1: Alfred Dreyfus being cashiered (publicly degraded) in 1896 (so glad to see that its not blood on the floor, but shredded red fabric). He was wrongly convicted for treason and was imprisoned for a decade while the real culprit roamed freely. This led to a huge scandal and to the release of the book "J'accuse" by Emile Zola in 1898.
#2: The Life of Emile Zola is a movie starring Paul Muni that won 3 academy awards and 7 nominations.
#3: Elaine from Seinfeld is played by Julia Lois-Dreyfus who might be distantly related to Alfred Dreyfus. Interestingly, her family name was originally Dreyfus, but they took the name of the company they owned (Louis Dreyfus) as their last name.
