Got this DVD from Netflix and watched it right away, not really knowing what to expect, only that it is a movie about the Christian faith. Compared to other “Christian” movies (Facing the Giants, FlyWheel, Fireproof) this one is more raw and authentic, actually based on a true story, which makes it even more astounding.
The story is about a Scottish-African farmer and his family, trying to survive drought and tribal war in South-Africa. Farmer Angus has a big turning point in his life as he realizes only God can fix his broken life. Then it gets really interesting as he is hurled straight into preaching and faith stretching experiences.
WARNING: if you have a rather weak stomach like me, I would recommend looking away for about a minute when Angus and his hired hand take 2 of the children on a tractor ride (towards the end of movie). This gut-wrenching scene was a little too graphic for me, and I was left pretty shook up and about to vomit. But don’t despair, even this horrific incident has some relief a few minutes later in the plot.
