Over de Grens plot

The South African Truth Commission concluded that most of the victims of the Apartheid regime were not in South Africa, but in neighboring countries. The struggle against the communist threat in the frontline states was seized upon to maintain Apartheid. In order to carry out the "total onslaught", thousands of conscripts have been sent to Namibia every year since the 1970s. "Across the Border" is the story of four white veterans. They tell about their own deeds or about what they have seen. Leon is proud because he belonged to the elite Koevoet police unit and killed many victims very efficiently. Ten years later, John, Sean and Mark are still at war, but with themselves. Haunted by nightmares and fears, everyone tries in their own way to function in society again.
