Webster’s short, non-judgemental, non-sensational documentary follows the three-year-long murder trial of Tom Cholmondeley, a white, land-owning Kenyan, charged with the killing of a poor poacher, Robert Njoya, on his farm in 2006, featuring interviews with the friends and relatives of both the accused and the victim, gently building-up a picture of the country's various financial inequalities.
