Blood Lands is a true story told in five parts which takes us to the heart of modern South Africa.

At dusk on a warm evening in 2016, two men arrive, unexpectedly, at a remote South African farmhouse. The frenzy that follows will come to haunt a community, destroying families, turning neighbours into traitors, prompting street protests, threats of violence, and dividing the small farming and tourist town of Parys along racial lines. Blood Lands is a murder investigation, a political drama, a courtroom thriller, and a profound exploration of the enduring tensions threatening the \u201crainbow nation". Over the course of three years, correspondent Andrew Harding has followed every twist of the police\u2019s hunt for the killers, the betrayals that opened the door to an explosive trial, and the fortunes of all those involved \u2013 from the dead men\u2019s families to the handful of men controversially selected for prosecution.
