I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
This was the first South African movie I ever watched. It presents a very important and rarely seen in the mainstream media problem of farm murders in South Africa. It contains very graphic scenes, but in that case they are necessary. These scenes contrast with the image of harmonious life in the farm community. Maybe the picture is too idealized, if so it was to increase the contrast. I liked the actors. Apart from the main characters I liked Shaleen Surtie-Richards playing the teacher.
Treurgrond is the very first South African movie I've ever seen and I was pleasantly surprised despite the extreme sad subject this movie covers.It provides a grim but realistic inside look into the farm murders that take place on a regular basis in South Africa, its impact on the community and the helplessness of the authorities to deal with these murders.Treurgrond pays attention to a problem that has been neglected for too long. The film is understated but very well made while the acting is sober but very good. I encourage everyone who is interested in South African history to watch the movie. It is incomprehensible that so little attention to this film was given in the regular (movie) media.
