A ‘MAKING A MURDERER’ set in South Africa – a gripping true-crime story of murder and the justice system in the shadow of apartheid

In 1993 a young white American activist called Amy Biehl was brutally murdered by a group of men in a township near Cape Town. A few years later, two of the convicted murderers were working with Amy’s parents at a charity set up in her memory.

After the horrors of apartheid, hope and reconciliation had triumphed.

It’s an inspiring story. But is it just that – a story?
