Beloofde Land
Channel: kykNET (DStv 144)
TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Documentary Series, Afrikaans
Emigration is one of the most personal and complex decisions a family can make.
Broadcaster and filmmaker Rian van Heerden takes you on a journey across South Africa and the US to unpack one of the most polarising questions of recent time: Is America really the promised land?
The debate around emigration intensified locally when US President Donald Trump signed an executive order granting special refugee status to Afrikaners.
Beloofde Land (Promised Land) examines the reasons behind South Africans that are considering or already made the move to America – from survivors of farm attacks and violent crime to farmers weighing whether to stay or leave.
It also explores how emigration impacts identity, family, finances and emotional wellbeing.
Through exclusive interviews and rare access to communities in both countries, Rian uncovers stories of fear, hope, loss, survival and new beginnings.
In America, Rian meets South Africans who moved there voluntarily, whether for professional opportunities or through the H2A programme, which draws many young South African farmers to work opportunities on American farms.
Then there are those who insist they had no choice and that Trump's refugee offer was their only hope.
