Download We Are Not Such Things: A Murder in a South African Township and the Search for Truth and Reconciliation AudioBook Free
A Making a Murderer set in South Africa - a gripping true-crime report of murder and the justice system in the shadow of apartheid. In 1993, in the final, fiery times of apartheid, a 26-year-old white American activist called Amy Biehl was murdered by several young dark-colored men in a township near Cape Town. Four men were tried out and convicted of the murder and sentenced to 18 years in prison. A couple of years later, they had been freed. Two of the men were subsequently employed by Amy's parents to work at a charity setup in her storage. The men grew near to the Biehls. They called them 'Grandmother' and 'Grandfather'. Justine truck der Leun, an American writer living in South Africa, attempt to tell this 20-time report, but as she delved in to the case, the prevailing narrative began to unravel. Why didn't the eyewitness reviews agree on who killed Amy Biehl? Were the men convicted of the criminal offense actually responsible? And may it be that another violent criminal offense committed on the same day, in the very same area, was linked to the murder of Amy Biehl? We Are Not Such Things is the consequence of Justine truck der Leun's four years looking into this bizarre, knotted tale of injustice, hatred, forgiveness and reconciliation. It is a gripping voyage through the bizarre twists and turns of this case and its aftermath - and a lucid, eye-opening bank account of life today in a culture still fractured and haunted by apartheid.
