Description:

In a tale set against the backdrop of the Boer War, three young Australian lieutenants face an unfair tribunal for executing captured Boer prisoners. Their actions were carried out under orders from their superiors, yet they are being made scapegoats as higher-ups distance themselves from questionable practices during warfare. The trial proves to be more complicated than anticipated for the General Staff, as the defense team tenaciously fights on behalf of these accused officers in the courtroom. This intense drama unfolds, exploring themes of loyalty, guilt, and the blurred lines between following orders and taking personal responsibility.
