HOW DO YOU START ANEW ONCE YOU’VE BETRAYED A NATION’S TRUST?

Hansie Cronjé became South Africa’s golden boy. As captain, he took his country’s cricket side from being seventh best in the world to the top. He was destined for greatness... but, his greatest battle was not on the fi eld... The news of his involvement with Indian bookmakers and his resulting public confession rocked the international sporting world. His unprecedented rise to glory was followed by the most horrific fall, made worse by the fact that he was an outspoken Christian.

'Hansie' explores the very human drama of a man who, after losing everything he has worked for, begins the painstaking journey back to choosing ‘life’.

'Hansie' is a film that captivates with its human drama, its action-packed sequences and its riveting match-fixing intrigue. But above all, the movie will reassure you of the ability of us all to overcome life’s difficulties with grace and dignity.

This special edition 2-disc set includes a special documentary about Hansie Cronjé featuring never-before-seen interviews with more than 60 people, plus behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes and bloopers.
