Farmlands
South Africa's farm murders and the debate over 'white genocide' claims drive this on-the-ground investigation, fronted by Canadian journalist Lauren Southern. She travels through rural provinces interviewing Afrikaner farmers who describe brutal attacks on their properties, visits informal settlements and townships to hear starkly different accounts of the same history, and sits down with activists, politicians, and organizers from groups like AfriForum and the EFF. The film tracks the parliamentary push to amend the constitution and allow land expropriation without compensation, using it as the flashpoint for a wider argument about whether farm killings are ordinary crime, racial targeting, or something the government is minimizing. Southern doesn't hide her own alarm at what she finds, and the film leans into that perspective rather than balancing it, but it backs its claims with named interview subjects, crime-scene visits, and archival news clips rather than assertion alone. It ends without resolving the dispute it opens, leaving the viewer with two irreconcilable versions of the same country.
