Through soil we become connected. Our lives intertwine like roots deep down beneath the earth. It is from the soil that we grow and it is the soil that ultimately becomes our resting place. To farm is to understand the volatility of soil.
Amidst the anxiety caused by the growing number of farm attacks, a farmer tries to protect his family and his farm. A cynical investigator is at her wits end, and a hot-shot attempts to reclaim the land that was taken from his family generations ago.
Treurgrond tells the painful story of a farming community dealing with the numerous farm attacks confronting South African farmers almost every day. These gruesome acts not only affect the farmers and their families but the community and country as a whole.
The story digs deeper into a world where relationships, regret, revenge and forgiveness are brought together by unfortunate circumstances from which hope and healing could rise.
