Faith Like Potatoes

This is a movie about a white South African who sadly moves with his wife and children off the farm that his family has owned for generations.

The war-torn region provides the backdrop for the nearly penniless clan who settles on a rough patch of land in an RV without even a nearby water source. The increasingly stressed farmer with the Scottish accent and temper finds himself distancing from his devout Christian wife.

Pills don't calm his nerves. Hiring shifty local Zulu tribesmen seems to create more cost than benefit.

Practically dragged by his wife to a gathering at the local Methodist church, his life takes a dramatic turn.

If you're the type who believes in altar-call Christianity and "ask and you shall receive," then rent this one and watch it with your spouse. Tragedy becomes triumph with the aid of God, faith and hard work. And the special features provide a documentary on this true life story!
