In 1996's Cape Town, at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Hearings, an Afrikaner doctor seeks forgiveness from a Xhosa family, uncovering a dark truth.

Truth & Conciliation is set in Cape Town in 1996 during the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings, where a Xhosa police detective, Thembisa Dlamini, and an Afrikaner doctor, Pieter Marais, begin a tenuous relationship. Both have suffered the loss of loved ones and been scarred by South African violence.

Will the truth about a deadly crime committed during the apartheid era bring them together or split them apart?

Brutal yet tender, Truth & Conciliation is a searing account of the impact that racism had on South African life, and poses the question whether telling the truth will set you free.
