Movie Night - Faith Like Potatoes

Grangeville Baptist Church will be showing the award winning movie "Faith like Potatoes".

Some Information from en.wikipedia.org about the movie:

"Faith Like Potatoes is a 2006 South African drama film directed by Regardt van den Bergh. It is based on the book written by Angus Buchan published in 1988. It is about the life of Angus Buchan and his family."

"Set in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, this story is about a Zambian farmer who leaves his farm in the midst of political unrest and racially charged land reclaims and travels south with his family to start a better life. With nothing more than a caravan (small travel trailer) on a patch of land, and help from his foreman, Simeon Bhengu, the Buchan family struggle to settle in a new country. Faced with ever mounting challenges, hardships and personal turmoil, Angus quickly spirals down into a life consumed by anger, fear and destruction. Based on events in the life of Angus Buchan, the book was adapted for the big screen by award-winning actor and director, Regardt van den Bergh, and weaves together the moving journey of a man who, like his potatoes, grows his faith, unseen until the harvest."

"It premiered on October 15, 2006 and opened in cinemas in South Africa on October 27, 2006."

"Faith Like Potatoes was shown at several small film festivals including the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival and the Australian International Film Festival. It was especially well received by Christian organizations, and won the audience choice award at the 2006 Sabaoth International Film Festival held in Milan, Italy."
