Vlakplaas was established in 1979, being the brainchild of of the lowlife South African Security Police commander, Dirk Coetzee. Coetzee headed the SA apartheid government's 15 member death squad; a group of evil scumbag, elite assassins. They were white bully boys and egotistical savage thugs who, committed some of the most inhuman atrocities ever carried out by any countries Death Squad; including Argentina (many countries have them).

The tale told in this film deals with looking for the missing buried bodies, but spares the viewer any of the gruesome images that occurred from the disgusting apartheid era.

There are many who will find this boring/unexciting but it is a very well made film, and was well received upon its release.
