The documentary examines a number of the central issues that underpin the White Cross Project, including farm murders, political incitement, race-based legislation, threats to property rights and the broader political crisis in South Africa.
"During the campaign's Washington programme, 3,000 white crosses will be displayed to commemorate victims of farm murders and to bring the human cost of farm attacks to the attention of an international audience."
‘Lex Libertas’ main objective is to promote a viable political dispensation for the communities of South Africa. The most important step towards achieving this is not some form of parliamentary intervention, but for families and communities to function independently by taking ownership of their own freedom. We must fill the political vacuum in South Africa by accepting responsibility ourselves.'
