A man wrongly accused of paedophilia suffers the fury of his own town.

People have an overwhelming desire to believe that children always tell the truth. Unfortunately, sometimes they lie. The Hunt is a thought provoking and effective film. It makes a point of showing how ridiculous people can be when they are worried for their children. It draws one to ponder what they would do in a similar situation.
