A spine-chilling period drama inspired by a true crime that gripped the Netherlands for more than a decade.
In the spring of 1999, the body of a 16-year-old girl was found on the outskirts of a small village, next to an asylum seekers' centre.
‘The Hunt’ depicts how the long and frustrating search for the perpetrator confronted the inhabitants and asylum seekers of this little Dutch town with xenophobia, racism, and bizarre and persistent conspiracy theories, fuelled by social media.
The crime remained unsolved for more than 12 years, until an unprecedented use of a large-scale DNA investigation finally solved the case.
