Farmlands

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 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.

Forget what you have been told to believe, watch the documentary and make up your own mind.

This in not right-wing propaganda as some claim, looking at the reviews some of them have not even bothered to watch the documentary.

Lauren Southern did what journalists are supposed to do, she went to the country and interviewed the people living there. She went and found out for herself what is really going on. She did a very good job in my opinion, but watch it for yourself and make up your own mind.

Approximately 60 000 commercial farmers in 1990, approximately 30 000 commercial farmers today. The South African population has increased by millions, the farmers have halved. Does that make any logical sense? Watch the documentary and decide for yourself.

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

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.
