“I felt like the hero on Charles Dickens novel A Tale Of Two Cities, who gave hos life for love”
- Jens Soering
"A Shakespearean drama of modern age.”

“A gruesome double killing with unanswered questions until today, a court proceeding full of mistakes and the story of a fatal juvenile love: this documentary can easily be compared with fictional thriller” - Spielfilm.de
THE PROMISE
Marcus Vetter & Karin Steinberger / Germany/USA / 2016
Derek and Nancy Haysom were brutally murdered in their house in Lynchburg, Virginia, on March 30th 1985. Suspicion fell on their daughter Elizabeth and her boyfriend Jens Söring. They flee to Europe, but are caught and extradited to the U.S. Elizabeth is sentenced to 90 years in jail for incitement to murder, Jens Söring to two life sentences. Karin Steinberger, Marcus Vetter and their team spent over three years researching this case, which achieved world-wide notoriety. They uncovered new evidence, including the fact none of the blood samples found at the scene of the crime belonged to Jens Söring. A controversial doc about a great love and perhaps a great injustice, and an American legal system spun out of control.

DOC LOUNGE LUND GOING INTERNATIONAL
Everything on Doc Lounge Lund will be in English (or with English subtitles) from now on. A big part of our audience is international/non Swedish speaking and since our screenings are a great opportunity to watch film even if you don't speak Swesih, we thought we might aswell turn the whole thing international!
