Donker, donker land

This film looks at the brutal murders of the Davel family (parents and only daughter), and three policemen in the South African town of Carolina in 1995. Tjaart Theron grew up in this very conservative dorp, and, together with Hans Fels, he searches for the truth, interviewing the people involved. To the consternation of the residents, the perpetrator was one of their own - a respected white prosecutor. It is also a study of the Afrikaner authority structure in which the church plays a big part and in which people, from a young age, are required to conform
