The Screen Guide

At the height of the Boer War three members of the Bushveldt Carbineers are court-martialled on charges of murdering Boer prisoners and a German missionary. The action - designed to make them 'an example' - is politically motivated and the proceedings strongly in favour of the prosecution. A gripping story of injustice. Based on the play by Kenneth Ross.
