Synopsis:
In South Africa more than 1500 white farmers have been murdered in
the past decade. Is this a campaign to drive them off the land or
just another aspect of the country's persistent crime wave?
Against a background of increased land hunger and frustration with
the pace of land reform, some see the killings as a Zimbabwe style
bid to intimidate whites off their farms. This film for BBC Two
follows a white farmer, a black land claimant and a policeman
investigating farm murders over a bloody fortnight.
