Based on a true story, this is the tale of a poor farmer named Trywell who has an enduring faith and big dreams for his land and family in dusty Malawi. When his hope begins to fade with each subsequent setback, he finally bets all on his sons dreams and ingenious plan to restore the farmland by “making the rain”. While there are some mature themes dealt with, it is relatively family friendly for all but younger children. An inspiring true story of hope and redemption.
