Set in the tempestuous hills of the KZN midlands, Faith Like Potatoes follows Buchan from his early attempts to achieve material success, through the personal transformation that follows a series of seemingly insurmountable losses, and a close friendship forged with his faithful Zulu farmhand. Like the potatoes planet in his field, Buchan's faith remains hidden until the harvest, when he learns how the power of faith can help him to begin the personal healing process, and become more accepting of others. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Scottish born Angus Buchan, pl... read moreayed perfectly by a virtually unknown Frank Rautenbach, ends up in South Africa with his growing family starting a farm from scratch. Finally after realizing his anger problem, among other things, he goes to church at the insistence of his wife who is at the end of her rope. He is inspired by another farmer who is speaking and he gives his life to God...it changes everything and begins a great walk of faith for him and his family, although not without some tragedy and hardship...but the difference is Angus's heart change. Very inspiring story!

    This is a faith inspiring film based on a true story. In the special features there is a one hour long interview with the real Angus Buchan and he tells the definining story points from his view and they show the corresponding piece in the movie. This film will make you laugh, ... read morecry, cheer and get down on your knees. I highly recommend it.
