Stolen Ground: The Hermanus Story | Official Trailer (2026)

In 2018, the coastal town of Hermanus became the centre of violent protests, political turmoil and a land invasion that would change the community forever.
A protected milkwood forest was destroyed. Thousands of informal structures emerged. Promises were made. Solutions were proposed. Yet eight years later, the consequences remain.
How was this allowed to happen? Who failed to act? And who benefited?
From the failures of political leadership to allegations of shack farming and the controversial role of the Land Party, filmmaker Joe Emilio investigates the events that led to the Schulphoek land invasion and the decisions that followed.
Through firsthand testimony, exclusive interviews and documentary evidence, Stolen Ground: The Hermanus Story uncovers a deeply troubling story of political failure, broken promises and unanswered questions.
The land was taken. The truth was buried.
