This film is based on true events. Through the eyes of the media we see how an innocent couple is falsely accused by the media of a hideous murder. A journalist tries to show the audience their innocence. Balanced, well researched and told with a certain panache, this is a movie that can compete with The Insider, Spotlight or Zodiac. Very interesting: polster and pragmatic entrepreneur Maurice de Hond, a man who strangely enough used to be taken extremely seriously by the Dutch media bobo's is only shown in archive footage, but is the antagonist is this tale about fake news. This surefooted movie deserves a bigger, international audience... and some awards.
