Farmlands

Just finished watching this. powerful doco on the tragedy that is occurring in South Africa against white people. An uprising from the blacks after years racial tensions after apartheid, murdering farmers and vulnerable people, while the government does nothing. on the brink of civil war, many cant afford to leave, so they form segregated communities, or in some cases prepare to civil war with supplies and weapons. must see that opens your eyes to a modern tragedy that mainstream media is avoiding to report

Great documentary! Been looking forward to watching it for months now

All people should have the right to live in peace and not have their property stolen. There is a huge story here that the media does not want to tackle, but Lauren Southern bravely does. How? By actually going there and getting the story directly, something that rarely happens these days. These farmers need help and decent governments and people around the world need to step up to help them. Lauren made this documentary at great personal risk and she deserves a lot of credit for making this excellent documentary.

Compelling documentary uncovering the violence against South African farmers. What is most shocking is barbarity of the violence - torturing people, rapes committed with family members made to watch or the rape of small children, people being boiled and other horrific crimes. These are race based hate crimes in what is clearly a campaign of terrorism and from what other information sources I have seen very likely carried out with the unofficial support of the government who recently announced they would take farmland from white farmers without compensation. Not the subject of this documentary but when you look at other sources it is also shocking how actively the govt seems to be implementing policies that will destroy Sth Africa. Already one taxpayer supports around five people with unemployment over 30%. Undermining property right security by taking land will cause investors to flee and result in more job losses and food shortages. Corruption is at ridiculous levels as is murder and rape. Other crimes against blacks are also very high but mostly carried out in a casual manner rather than designed to inflight cruelty which distinguishes the farm murders from other crimes (and farmers are about four times more likely to be killed than other Sth Africans). It's hard to see a solution to this problem as some will emigrate but others will stay on the land their families will own for 300+ years making them an even smaller and more vulnerable minority. But the rapid dissolution of Sth Africa into even further levels of poverty, unemployment, infrastructure collapse and social chaos of the policies the govt is now implementing does not bode well for the farmers. This is in the context of politicians already singing about killing white farmers at rallies in a state where the police force cannot and will not enforce the law to protect a minority population because they are too overwhelmed with crime and are being told not to spend time on crime against whites. This is an extremely dangerous genocidal mixture. Sending my prayers over to Sth Africa in the hopes that catastrophic violence can be avoided.

This documentary is both brilliant and disturbing. Lauren Southern shines a light on the plight of the white racial minority in South Africa, a community under increasing threat as racial tension grow, particular around the subject of land rights. While the documentary admittedly only looks at one side of the issue it does show, in disturbing detail, the justified fear under which these communities are living. This is an issue that is far to ignored by the main stream media and this film does a great deal to help raise awareness and is recommended to anybody with even a passing interest in the subject.
