Acts of the unaccused (2019)

The short documentary by film student Kaspar Erik Lind is about the massacres that took place in the early 1940s on the territory of Scheel Manor in Pirita-Kose.

In the early 1940s, NKVD workers expelled the inhabitants of Scheel Manor and the surrounding area, in order to lay court and execute the court decisions there. The victims were either shot or buried alive. It was not until the arrival of German troops that the gruesome acts of the Soviet authorities were revealed, when over forty bodies were found under the cement floor.
