Farmlands

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.

After following this matter for about a year I am incredibly happy with this documentary. For a good reason she is trying to show how mistreated white farmers are in SA.

This documentary has its flaws: Lauren Southern's narration is over-the-top; the content is superficial, consistenting mostly of a small number of anecdotes and interviewee's opinions; and it's a bit one-sided. It doesn't really answer the bigger questions it raises about its subject matter. Despite that, it's an important subject that doesn't get enough attention. This movie shows a side of the story that's not well known (that of many of the white farmers) and made me want to learn more about the situation in South Africa. There's definitely nothing racist, neo-Nazi, or hateful about the movie. It's unfortunate that many people will leave 1 star reviews for this film without even watching it, because of their political agenda.

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.
