Die film Treurgrond het sy eerste nasionale toekennings verower. Dit het plaasgevind by die internasionale filmfees in Amsterdam in Nederland waar dié film bekroon is as die beste buitelandse film, en waar die film ook die toekenning gekry het as film met die beste kinematografie.
Die film handel oor die realiteit en wreedheid van plaasmoorde, terwyl die kwessie van grondeise ook ‘n prominente rol in die film speel. Steve Hofmeyr speel die hoofrol daarin.
Both of these thought-provoking tear-jerkers are a must-watch for South Africans living abroad, and they’re both coming to Showmax.

Darrell Roodt’s film Treurgrond, landing on Showmax on Monday, 31 July, deals with a controversial subject. It is a close look at the issue of farm murders in South Africa. The outspoken actor, musician and activist Steve Hofmeyr plays Lukas, the soft-hearted farmer at the centre of the story. Lukas tries desperately to protect his family, farm and community when the area is plagued by farm attacks.
