Feb 18, 2015I don't think this was the best movie. It lacked in the story department as well as acting. Although it did have great landscapes, it still fails to impress.Jarrin R Super Reviewer

Jan 12, 2009The scenery and Vincent Perez were worth a look. I've never seen Garrett Strommen, or at least I don't remember. And that's odd because he is HOT! I've read that it stays rather true to the actual story.April N Super Reviewer

Mar 08, 2007This true drama based on the memoirs of Kuki Gallmann was so emotionally and sadly when she got homestead on a farm in Africa with her new husband and young son.Dean M Super Reviewer
