Amazon.com:
The growing genre of Christian cinema adds to its flock Faith Like Potatoes, based on the book of the same name about a real-life South African farmer named Angus Buchan. Buchan accepted Jesus at a moment of crisis and began experiencing miracles, ranging from sudden rain putting out a wildfire to reviving a woman struck by lightning. The movie follows Buchan (played by Frank Rautenbach, star of a South African soap opera) from his failed farm in Zambia to his rise as a lay evangelist, delivering a sermon in a massive South African stadium. He begins as a sullen, short-tempered man, quick to lash out at his wife (the lovely Jeanne Wilhelm) and the native Zulu workers on his struggling farm. But as his life takes on the purpose of spreading the Word, Buchan finds personal peace (though he also faces personal tragedies). Faith Like Potatoes is squarely aimed at Christian viewers; its straightforward take on Christianity is unlikely to persuade skeptics. Despite the intriguing and (for an American audience) exotic locale, the problems Buchan faces (overwork, an emotionally remote marriage) feel bland and generic. Though Buchan clearly disapproves of a snide British farmer's colonialist contempt for the Zulus, the movie's own attitude towards them is paternalistic at best. Still, despite baldly expository dialogue, Faith Like Potatoes does have a steady forward momentum to its story, and there's little question that the right audience will find its message comforting and compelling. --Bret Fetzer

Director Reghardt van den Bergh, traces the story of the rugged South African farmer as he endures remarkable adversity on his quest to discover the true power of faith. 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, ... Read More

This is an Awesome movie especially for those who have or seek a real relationship with Jesus Christ. It is a REAL life movie depicting the trials and tribulations a man and his family living in South Africa. If you watch this movie you MUST watch the added features which show the real man the movie is based upon and some real footage of his family, farm and ministry.

You have to watch this movie. With your family, with your friends, with your pastor and/or priest. It will motivate you. It will remind you about the faithfulness and kindness of the Lord. GOD IS REAL. JESUS IS REAL. Don't waste your time watching the latest Hollywood fantasies.

Movie was a good portrayal of life in South America as I have understand it. I liked the fact that Black People were not treated bad in this flim that is supposed to be based on a true story.
