In 1992 a group of heavily armed IFP alligned hostel dwellers swept through the township of Boipatong, killing, shooting and burning indiscriminately. When the killing spree was over, 45 innocent people lay dead and many others were maimed for life. Those responsible were in due course apprehended and locked up, but received amnesty from the TRC a few years later. SABC tracks down three of the Boipatong killers who have painful memories of the atrocities they performed. Powerful footage shows the killers introduced to a twelve year old girl, paralysed from the waist down. On the night of June 17 1992, someone drove a panga into her head and killed her father. Despite her pain, she is prepared to meet the men whose actions changed their lives, but is she prepared to forgive? An emotive story of reconciliation and forgiveness.
