Frank Rautenbach leads a strong cast as Angus Buchan, a Zambian farmer of Scottish heritage, 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 in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. With nothing more than a 
caravan 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 the inspiring true 
story by Angus Buchan the book was adapted for the big screen by Regardt van den Bergh and weaves 
together the moving life journey of a man who, like his potatoes, grows his faith, unseen until the 
harvest.

hills of the KZN Midlands. Angus' manic quest for material success is slowly transformed into a wild
