Description

De Wildt, South Africa. On an oppressively hot day, an elderly doctor is found drowned in a river on her home farm, apparently having slipped and fallen to her death. Deeply bereft, her family and servants remember a matriarch of fierce spirit who passed her passion for justice on to every man and woman, black or white. But for one friend - a detective - grief becomes splintered by an insidious doubt; one that will threaten to expose those he loves and the fractures in their family: she did not slip. THE SAVAGE HOUR is a stealthy and compelling walk in the bloodied dust of a post-apartheid rural community. In Elaine Proctor's sensory, filmic narrative, bereavement becomes the magnifying glass on a people pushed to the brink of a changing world.
