One September morning in Cape Town's Lavender Hill, Ellen Pakkies tied a rope around her 20 year old son's neck and strangled him to death. She had fought his violent tik addiction for six hard years and came to a point where killing him meant saving him.
Ilse Klink plays Judge von Dheman who would eventually sentence Pakkies to 280 community service hours and a 3 year suspended service after the Cape Flats community rallied in her support. Also look out for Russel Savadier
Ellen opens nationwide on Friday, 7th September.
