A farmer moves his family to South Africa and suffers a series of seemingly insurmountable losses.

A moving life journey of a man who, like his potatoes, grows his faith, unseen until the harvest.

Faith Like Potatoes - Rating: 5/5
This story is what Christianity is all about. Normal people doing extraordinary things for God.
To me Angus is a modern apostle that we could all model our lives after.
To anyone whom is interested....watch this movie. If nothing else you will be inspired. If you want to see what God can do in your life, this is an excellent example.
A Challenge to viewers - Rating: 4/5
Faith like Potatoes does a fine job of telling Angus Buchan's story. We have shown it to a number of people. Generally we like to show the documentary first so people are familiar with Angus and his life and can follow the story with a deeper appreciation when they view the movie. To me the most important issue is that Angus' story challenges each of us to read God's word and act on His leading. Overall it is a great film. The tractor scene with his nephew is painful, but if you watched the documentary you are aware of what is coming & can forward through if you choose. In another set of scenes they portray Angus unrealistically working over a stump with a pitiful little hatchet until his workers show him a better way. Angus & the actor portraying him are clearly more intelligent than that so just overlook the absurdity and smile at the building of comradarie.
A Journey to South Africa - Rating: 5/5
I've never been to South Africa, but this EXCELLENT movie will take you to the heart of it. When I first saw it, I had to put the subtitles on to fully catch everything that everyone was saying, because I was unfamiliar with the dialect and the S. African accent. But that didn't keep it from being a gripping film. It's straight out of real life: everything that was in here is part of a true story, a life-story of a farmer who risked everything for God-- a story that is still going on today. This film will make you laugh and cry and praise the Lord. Watch it and be challenged to fully put your trust in God!
Must see movie - Rating: 5/5
This is an excellent movie based on a true story. I found it so enouraging and uplifting; so much so I have given it as a gift several times since watching it myself.
Totally loved this movie! - Rating: 5/5
I wasn't expecting much from this movie, even though it was based on a true story. I have wached it three times now, and love it more each time. I have seen many miracles in my own life, including being healed of incurable bone marrow cancer, and seeing what the Lord has done in and through Angus and his family encourages me to continue believing and receiving the Lord's many blessings so that others may know that He loves them!
The acting was excellent, and never did I feel that I was watching a low budget movie. Christian film has come of age. Thank You, Lord!
