The new danish film with Mads Mikkelsen, Jagten (The Hunt).
Don't know if I dare to see it in the cinema, it seems like a real feel bad film.
A disturbing story about a teacher which is wrongly accused of pedophilia. Coming from a small community, he's quickly subjected to a witch-hunt, where normally all attempts of proving his innocence is impossible.

I remember the hysteria and nationwide media coverage, which lasted for many years, in the 90's.
So many innocent lives were destroyed, I can only imagine how much the accused, and the children, still are struggling.
You never really recover from such tragedies.
Even today this case pops up in the papers from time to time.
A highly acclaimed unsetteling film, directed by Thomas Vinterberg (from Festen).
