opens a major season of films new to television starring Edward Woodward Jack Thompson
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 ... This gripping story of injustice proved one of the most powerful and successful of all recent Australian movies.
