Synopsis
Faith Like Potatoes (2006) is a South African drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Regardt van den Bergh. Frank Rautenbach plays Angus Buchan, a farmer of Scottish descent who leaves Zambia with his family when political unrest and land tensions make staying impossible.
In KwaZulu-Natal he runs into a different wall — racial friction, a language he barely speaks, and a bank holding the mortgage on his farm. Depression pulls him under until he turns to God. At the peak of a severe drought, he plants potatoes on that mortgaged land, betting everything on a harvest that may never come. Based on Buchan's own memoir, the film is less about miracles and more about a stubborn, flawed man slowly learning to loosen his grip on outcomes. Stream Faith Like Potatoes (2006) online on iFILM.
