During the Boer War, three Australian lieutenants are on trial for shooting Boer prisoners. Though they acted under orders, they are being used as scapegoats by the General Staff, who hopes to distance themselves from the irregular practices of the war. The trial does not progress as smoothly as expected by the General Staff, as the defence puts up a strong fight in the courtroom.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut courtroom drama that strips away the mythology of military honor to expose institutional hypocrisy and the machinery of injustice. Spare and precise, it builds a devastating case against those who command but deny responsibility.
