Director: Paula van der Oest / The Netherlands / 2014 / 97 min / DCP / Dutch w/English sub-titles<br />
Based on a true story.<br />
Nurse Lucia (40) has been present at one inexplicable death too many, and the hospital alerts the police. Assistant District Attorney Judith<br />
(28), driven by ambition and genuinely outraged, gets stuck in and Lucia is sentenced to life in prison. But something keeps troubling Judith,<br />
and she discovers inconsistencies in witness statements, and even the suppression of lab evidence. Ignored by her superiors, Judith teams<br />
up with Lucia’s lawyer, but at every appeal the original guilty verdict is confirmed. Things look bleak until they get the media involved and the<br />
biggest miscarriage of justice in Dutch history is finally reversed.<br />

THE DIRECTOR: Paula van der Oest graduated from the Netherlands Film and Television Academy in 1988 and worked as an assistant-director on<br />
several feature films before debuting in the cinema with 1996’s DE NIEUWE MOEDER (ANOTHER MOTHER), which premiered at the Venice Film<br />
festival. In 2002 ZUS & ZO (SIS & THAT), written by Paula, was nominated for a ‘Best Foreign Film’ Oscar - prompting Time Magazine to name her<br />
'the Woody Allen of Amsterdam'.<br />
Several years after making her first English-language film with MOONLIGHT in 2001 (which won her the Hollywood Discovery<br />
Award for Best European Film and Best Foreign Film at FLIFF), she directed Dutch stars Rutger Hauer and Carice van<br />
Houten in the hugely successful BLACK BUTTERFLIES (2011). An intense look at the life of South-African poet Ingrid Jonker,<br />
the film was sold to over fifty countries and has won a great number of national and international awards.<br />
Returning to the present day subject-wise, she wrote and directed THE DOMINO EFFECT (2013), an ensemble piece which<br />
deals with the still on-going credit crunch. Her new film ACCUSED was very well received by Lucia de Berk herself, the<br />
victim of the biggest miscarriage of justice in Dutch history: "Although she changed certain aspects for dramatic reasons,<br />
she captured the heart of my story."
