The Burning Land sees South Africa torn apart by propaganda and murder as one of the country’s bright young hopes is slain. Two childhood friends reunite in order to fight for the soul of their nation. This event, filmed live at the 2019 Edinburgh International Book Festival, is chaired by BBC special correspondent Allan Little.
