* Walk across the shore

* Walk across the sea

* Stand upon the waves

* And walk with me

* Journey through the door

* Come see what I can see

* All the reasons
we were made

* Who we were meant to be

ANGUS: I wasn't much of
a success at school.

I was actually a failure.

I was, basically, a cast-out
and I was extremely lonely.

I often used to walk
in the veldt behind my house

where we used
to live in Zambia.

And I would go and sit
on my favorite anthill
and talk with God.

* Lift your weary head

* There is too much
left to lose

* More than you can imagine

* It's waiting there for you

ANGUS: I used to sit on that
anthill dreaming of preaching
to thousands of people.

One day I was so excited

that I went to see
my local minister
to ask his advice.

Young Buchan.
Come on in.
Good morning, sir.

Now then, Angus,
isn't it?

What can I do
for you today?

Sir, I came here because
I really need to know...

I was so disappointed
when he told me that
I needed to get my matric,

and then I had to study
for a further seven years.

It just didn't
make sense to me.

I just wanted
to tell people
about God's love.

Then I went on this
prodigal journey
all over the world.

And for many years
I searched for the truth,

but I still could not find
peace and happiness.

* Beyond the obvious

* And what you can attain

* Past the here and now

* Where faith remains

* Lift your weary head

* There is too much
left to lose

* More than you can imagine

* It's waiting there for you

* Rise!

* He is calling you to come

ANGUS: In this process,
one good thing did happen
to me.

I met my
beautiful wife, Jill.

And she's become
my best friend,

and she stood with me
through thick and thin.

Jill and I eventually
came down from Zambia

and ended up
in a small town
called Greytown

in KwaZulu-Natal,
South Africa.

And I worked extremely hard
to become a successful farmer.

But the money did not bring
any fulfillment at all

because my heart
was still so empty.

This empty space
in my heart

was only filled
when I committed my life
to Christ yet once again

on the 18th of February,
1979,

in a small church
in Greytown.

Then the call to be
a preacher came back
stronger than ever.

Yes, my first love
was rekindled.

* Rise!

* He is calling you to come

* Just leave it all behind

* And rise above

ANGUS: This time I decided
to follow my heart

and I started preaching
to the workers on my farm.

And I would even preach
to the maize
when no one could see me,

imagining that the maize
represented thousands
of people.

And a very good morning
to you all!

Did you bring your
agricultural manuals
with you?

Jesus says in 2 Timothy 1:7,
"I've not given you
a spirit of fear,

"but of power, of love,
and of a sound mind."

Amen!
CROWD: Amen!

Amen!
Amen!

Amen!
Amen!

ANGUS: Thirty years later,
almost on the very same spot,

we erected a large
stage just where the
maize field used to be,

and thousands of men
from all over
Southern Africa

and even
the rest of the world

came to listen
to the Word of God.

* Rise!

* He is calling you to come

* Just leave it all behind

* And rise above

ANGUS: This is the story
of how God can change
people's lives

just because
an ordinary guy like me

decided to listen
to what God's call
was on my life.

I think of the story
of John Peters,

who arrived at the
Mighty Men's Conference

on his beautiful green
Boulevard motorbike.

Then we have the story
of Andre Cloete,

who came with his dad and
his younger brother, Jake.

And also, the amazing story
of Lucky Nzimande,

who did not even
want to be there
in the first place.

What is this?
This is not
what I ordered.

When I say a white
Toyota Cressida 2005

and you bring me
this piece of junk.

But, I mean, a 2005...
Shut up!

(MAN SPEAKS
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Take this.

Three, four, five.

Five hundred?

I'm not giving you
a penny more for
this piece of junk.

I'm going to give you
one more chance.

You bring me a Mazda
Double Cab Diesel,

or else I don't want
to see your faces again.

Now get out of here.

(SPEAKING WITH ACCENT)

500 rand for this car?

(CHUCKLES)

(SPEAKING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Blind... how can we
work for this thief?

Where must we find
a Cressida 2005?

I don't know,
it does not exist...
this guy is crazy!

Don't move.
Okay.

Okay.
Don't you...move!

I'm stepping away
from the car.
Give me the keys.

Okay, you've got the keys.
You've got your keys.

Get on the ground.
Get on the ground!

Getting down.
I'm getting down.

Get on the ground!

(GRUNTS)

Where's your gun?
I don't have a gun.

Give me your wallet.

My wallet's in the car,
next to the car seat.

(YELLING)

(GRUNTING)

Please!
Please, don't kill me.
Please, don't kill me.

(GUN CLICKS)

(GRUNTS)

(SOBBING)

Wow!

Beautiful house.
Uh-huh.

Just hang a moment.
I'm going to go
tell John we're here.

Okay, love.

John. John.

John, you ready?

John, you ready?

John?

John?

Come on.
What's going on, man?

John.

John, wake up.

(JOHN GROANING)

John, man.

Come on,
look at you, man.

You're supposed
to be ready now.

(GROANS)

(SIGHING)

Look at you, man.

Marlene is right outside.
Yeah, okay, okay.

You can't go
like this.

Look at you.

This is not
going to work.

Um...

You know what?
I have no idea
where John is.

Let me just
give him a call,

and I'll find out
what's going on.

How's it, John?
How's it, man? Um...

Me and Marlene
are at your house.
Where are you?

I'm sitting here with
the most beautiful girl,

and you're out
chasing business?

Bru, you need to
get your head checked.

JOHN: Morning, guys!

Jimmy.

I've been struggling
for a year to get you
a date with this girl,

and you just go
screw it up.

Big deal, man.
Tell her I'm sorry.
I'll apologize.

I'll buy her some flowers
or something.

I don't even know if she's
going to want to go on
a date with you after this.

And she's good relationship
material, man.

You're unbelievable.

I'm sorry, man.
I'm sorry.

Good day.

Wow!

Just sign here
for me, please.
Sure.

Marlene,
these are for you.

Wow.

Yay!

Must have been
one amazing date for you
to get flowers like that.

It wasn't an amazing date.
It was no date.

The guy didn't pitch.
What?

"I'm so sorry.
Please forgive me. John."

(GASPS) Give me that.
What happened?

Shame, man.

No, he didn't make it.

What? He dumped you
without even meeting you?
That's bad.

Charmaine.

Because he rides
a Boulevard.

I told you, girl.
Danny.

And, anyway, Danny,
at least I got some
flowers out of it.

Very nice.

(ENGINE STARTS)

Oh.

Did you know that
Andre is smoking?

Did you know that he bumped
his car 'cause he'd had
too much to drink?

I can't believe it.

I don't know
what's the problem
with that boy.

I mean, we certainly
never raised him
like that.

I spoke to him.

I asked him
who is going to pay
for the damages.

And?

And, as usual,
he didn't respond.

(SIGHS)
You've got to talk to him.

He's going to end up in jail
or something worse.

And, by the way,
he's been smoking
for quite a while.

You've just been
too busy to notice.

Why didn't you tell me?

(SCOFFS)

Anyway, I think my dad,
he caught me
smoking today, man.

(MAN EXCLAIMING)

Don't worry.
Don't worry.

What? You mean your dad
doesn't know you smoke?

Bra, you smell
like an ashtray.

Dude, you chain smoke
all the time.

Well, daddy's going
to pray for you.

(ALL LAUGHING)

So what did your
daddy say anyway?

He didn't say anything.
He just pulled up.
But I'm sure he saw me.

He's going to freak out.

But, Andre,
you've been smoking
since high school, man.

My mom knows,
but my dad's always
been away.

Right. You seriously
need to move out.
Business.

You're a big boy now.
Hey, I live there, too.

You're not
a big boy.

I hate it there.

Super conservative
about stuff like that.

Okay, pick a card.
Pick a card.

Come on.
Pick a card.

(ALL YELLING)

Okay, drink.
Yeah.

Down, down, down!
Down, down, down!

(LAUGHING)

One, two, three, go.

Down, down, down.
Down. Yeah!

No!
Come on, you've got
to do better than that.

Almost! Almost!
Almost! Yeah!

HERMAN: I should have
handed you over
to the police.

But they would just have
let you out on bail,

so that you can go
and rape some poor woman
on a farm somewhere. Eh?

I was once in exactly
the same position that
you are in right now.

I also did some
very, very bad things.

Just like you.

Very bad things.

I was a policeman.

I caught many
young criminals.

Just like you.

But I also abused
my position

to force bribe money
from people.

I also deliberately
looked the other way

when some people
committed crime,

if they paid me enough.

Then one day,

God caught up with me.

And he tied me
to a tree,
just like you.

And he came at me
with a sjambok,

just like I am coming
at you, now, today.

But I did not
get the lesson
that I deserved

because he told me
about his son, Jesus.

And that he would
take the sjambok for me,
if I would only choose.

Now you must choose.

I happen to be going to
a great gathering of men.

Men who have also done
some very bad things,

just like us.

But we have all received
God's mercy.

So we're going to worship
the great Unkulunkulu.

Now you can
come with me,

or I can hand you
over to the police.

Today you must choose.

(MEN LAUGHING)

Mrs. Cloete.

We're very sorry
for waking you up
at this time of night.

Fine. Just take
him to his room.
Okay. Come on.

Mom, don't tell Dad.
Come.

(LAUGHS)
Where are you going?

(TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

(SHUSHING)

(LAUGHING)

Okay, you get the bag.
Let's go.

I think we broke the bed.

(LAUGHING)
(SHUSHING)

(SIGHS)

Daddy's boy.

Hey. Hey.

We need to talk.
Oh, Dad...

You've got 30 minutes.
Get out of this bed
and take a shower.

See me downstairs
in my office.
(GROANING)

Thirty minutes.

Yeah.

Sit up, man. Sit up.

I'm really worried
about you.

Ever since you got
back from Scotland,

and I don't know
what happened there,

it seems like everything
is just falling apart.

(SIGHS)

Look, we're just
having fun, Dad.

Fun? This isn't fun.
This is wrecking your life.

(SIGHS) I don't know
what to do with you anymore.

You're smoking,

you're getting
motherless drunk,
crashing your car.

I mean, we didn't
raise you like this.

Eh?

You're a real
disappointment.

This isn't what I had
planned for your life.

Okay, I get it.

Can I go now?

No.

What now?

Come. I'm going
to pray for you.

Dear Lord,

you know that we love
Andre and have his
best interest at heart.

Please show him
the way home.

We thank you, Lord.

Amen.

Hallelujah.

So tell me, Lucky.
Why did you need
to hijack my car?

Listen, I'm not
going to hurt you.

Just tell me honestly.
I really want to know.

(SPEAKING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Just shut up
you rich white dog...

That doesn't seem
like a very good reason.

One only steals a car
if you're very, very hard up

or suffering badly.

(SPEAKING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

You capitalist ...

... what do you know
about suffering?

If you go on like that,

we're really not going
to have any sort of decent
conversation, you know.

(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

You don't understand!

Hey.

Vissy!
Yeah, man.

Are you okay?

Yes. Yeah.
Okay? How's your leg?

Is there something wrong?
Come.

Put your bag
in the back.

Who's your passenger?

Giving somebody a lift?

Lucky, I would like you
to meet a very old friend
of mine,

Ben Wolhuter.

Ben, I would like you
to meet a very new friend
of mine,

Lucky Nzimande.

Lucky has chosen
to join us on our
journey to Greytown.

Is he the...
Uh-huh.

(STUTTERS)

Vissy, come.
One minute.

Thank you.

Basically, I got lost. Okay?

So I stopped to
get out the GPS,

and this guy appears
out of the dark...

Listen, let's just
hit the road

and we can discuss this
as we go along, okay?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Have you lost your senses?

He got this close
to killing you.

I was going to drop him off
at the police station.

Then I thought,
"They're just going
to let him out on bail,

"and he's going to go
and do exactly
the same thing again."

And then,
I had this idea.

Let's take him with us.
What?

I think it's
a brilliant idea.

(SCOFFS) Brilliant?

Have you finally
lost your mind?
Why?

I promise you, Wolly,
it feels almost as if
God has given us a mission.

Did God send a criminal
to kill you?

You haven't heard
the half of it.

Come on.

JIMMY: And eventually,
when they got together,
it was love at first sight.

Marlene blew him away.
She literally blew him
off his feet.

I've never seen him
happier or more in love.

And then, Marlene and
her two kids moved in,
and it was good.

They didn't get there
without their challenges,
though.

DANNY BOY:
One of my happiest
memories in my life

is the very first time
I was invited to join
the brotherhood.

All the fun times
we shared,

all the hardships
we endured,

all those challenges
we faced,
we faced them together.

MEN: Yeah!

Just like our new
brother here, John.

MEN: Johnny.

John has stood
the test of time,

like we all have
in the brotherhood.

ALL: (CHEERING) Yeah.

John,

I commit to you,
my man.

Wear your colors

with pride!

(ALL CHEERING)

BOTH: (SHOUTING) The Force!

The Force!

(YELLING)

(REVVING ENGINES)

(TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

(LAUGHS) We make the darts
do the talking.

Let me just close out
those 20s for you, huh?

(LAUGHING)

You're distracting me.
Just get me a beer.

Let him throw first.

Yes!
MAN: Yeah!

That's sweet.
Oh, yeah!

That's what
I'm talking about.

MAN: Beginner's luck, man.

Looks like the talent's
on this side of the family.

Where's my beer?
I'll get it.

It's only a game.
A game.

Yeah, but it's time
you taught your kids
a bit of respect.

What is your problem?

You've been bugging
everybody the whole day.

You're destroying
the day for everyone.
Now cool it!

Cool it?
Why don't you cool it?

(CLAMORING)

(SCREAMS)

Jay!

Stop it!

Stop it!
John, that's enough!

John! Stop it!

What was that
all about?

John, you guys are
drinking too much.

This is way
too much alcohol.

And it goes on
all the time.

Just having
a bit of fun.

Fun?

You call that fun?

A fistfight with your
brother and smashing up
the furniture is fun?

Stop playing
and listen to me.

Okay, I'm sorry.

John, I'm not going
to marry you unless
this stops right now.

I love you.

But there is no way
that I am bringing
my daughters

into this crazy situation.

What do you want me to do?

I want you
to stop drinking.

Or I'm out of here.

JIMMY: For two years
John kept his promise
to Marlene.

He didn't touch a drop.

And for John,
this was quite
an achievement.

So they got married,
and John and Danny Boy
became best friends,

and life was good.

Marlene was a very positive,
positive influence
on our family.

ALL:
* Happy birthday to you

* Happy birthday, dear John

* Happy birthday to you

(ALL CHEERING)

Yeah! Go, Dad!

(WHOOPING)

Okay, Wolly.
Listen, I'm sorry.

But now we just
have to make the best
of the situation. Okay?

I still think we should
go to the nearest
police station

and just
hand him over.

You're making him
our problem now.

I feel like a...criminal.

HERMAN: You know,
since I became a Christian,

I've started to look at
a lot of things differently.

Don't get super
spiritual on me now.

The reality is
we're the...criminals.

And with our
judicial system,

we'll go to jail
and he'll walk free.

We have to get rid of him.

(PLEADING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Please, man.

Please.

Stop the car, please.

Please, stop the car.

Please, stop the car
and leave me out.
Shut up!

Please, stop.

Please, stop the car.

This is ridiculous.

You're harboring
a...criminal.
Okay, okay.

Point taken.

Wolly,

now I want to
ask you a question.

What would Jesus do?

Oh, come on.

Don't give me that one.

But

I have nothing else.

(WHIMPERING)

Is that his gun?

I thought you
got rid of it.

(SPEAKING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Granny, I am so sorry...

Gogo please ask God
to help me...

these people
want to kill me...

you know how
we suffer at home...

(WHIMPERING)

Now, I stuck this gun
in Lucky's face

and pulled the trigger
at point-blank range.

It did not fire.

How do you
explain that?

You tell me.

Cheers.

Cheers, buddy.

Hey, buddy, sure
you don't want me
to drop you?

I'm fine.
You sure?

I'm fine. Cheers.
Cheers.

* And when you're looking
for a friend

* Find yourself
all alone again

* I ask myself
where did I go wrong?

* Why does this life
want to bring me down?

* I know that I made
a lot of mistakes

* Please forgive me
for losing my way *

(DOGS BARKING)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

(GROANING)

What's wrong, Andre?

ANDRE: I had an accident.

I'm fine, but...

You'll have
to come fetch me.

Oh!

Where are you?
Oh, my goodness!

ANDRE: Down the road.

Okay, love,
I'm coming.

Hello?

Are you okay?
Should I call the police?

I'm fine.

My mom will be in
now to pick me up.

Oh, my goodness!
Look at the garden.
You've ruined my garden.

I think I should
call the police.

Hi. Hello.
I am so sorry.

Please, please, don't worry.

We'll pay for
absolutely everything.

Is he all right? I mean,
look at my garden.

The agapanthuses
are absolutely ruined.

Is he intoxicated,
or what?

Should I call the police?

I think I should
call the police.

(SOFTLY) Get in the car
now if you don't wanna
end up in jail.

Get in the car.

I am so sorry. Look,
we actually live just
up the street at No. 15.

15?
Yeah.

We're practically neighbors.
But please don't worry

because I'll get a tow truck
in, in the morning and we'll
restore your garden.

Look, he is in
a state of shock.

Please, please,
don't call the police.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Look, I've come to
show you something.

I've got this really
great contact

in local government
for a transport contract.

I've just gotta
give him a kickback,
and the job's mine.

Looks interesting, huh?
Yeah.

It's a sure thing.

I just need 500K
for the truck.

Listen,
this is gonna work.

It's not something
you're gonna regret.

It's not easy for me,
but would you be able
to help me?

(SIGHS)

All right, Danny Boy.

I don't have that kind
of money now.

That's okay.
No, no, wait.

Why don't you get,
like, a bank loan?

I'll stand surety
for you, man.

It's the best I can do
for you at the moment.

You mean for real?
Sure.

Would you do that
for me, my friend?
Sure.

I'll give you
a profit share.

No, I don't want
a share of profit on this.

You just make sure
this thing works.

John, it's gonna work.
It's a sure thing, my man.

Thank you, thank you so...
You're not gonna regret this.

Thanks, John.

(BEEPING)

Okay.

We're doing the
Jesus thing now.

Thanks, Wolly.

What is this?

I don't need this
stuff from you guys.

(SPEAKING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Don't worry...

...the rich white dog
paid for it.

I mean, it's what we
capitalists do, isn't it?

We buy things?

(CHUCKLES)

So we're all going
to Giorgio's for dinner on
Friday, if you wanna come.

I'll let you know.

Oh, thank you. Yummy.

John, thank you
for helping Danny
and Charmaine.

You do know it means
the world to me.

Least I can do.

Let's just hope it works
for him, otherwise we're
all gonna be in trouble.

Yeah.

Dad, Melvin has been
in an accident.
What happened?

I don't know. This woman
just phoned me and said
we must come now.

Were you not supposed
to go and fetch him?

No, Dad, Melvin decided
to do his own thing.

He phoned me to come
and pick him up,

but some biker guy
gave him a lift instead.

A bike? Did he have
a helmet on him?

I don't know, Dad.

What happened here?
Motorbike accident, sir.

JOHN: My boy!

(SOBBING)

No!

* Just a glimpse
of your face

* All my fears melt away

* Lost within your embrace

* I am pouring out
all my adoration

* Jesus, Jesus,
take me over now

* I surrender
everything I have

* I lay it down

You're way
behind schedule, man.

You've got to pull
a bit of finger here.

If Melvin was still here,
he'd have been done by now.

Okay, Dad, I'm sorry
about Melvin.

(COUGHING)

(SPEAKING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

So, tell us your story...

Where did you learn
to speak Zulu?

I grew up on a farm...

Can you please
speak English

so we can all understand?

So why do you do crime?

(SCOFFS)

As if he's
gonna tell you.

I never knew my father,

and my mother died
when I was eight years old.

(SINGING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Then I went to stay
with my grandmother.

She taught me
to be a man.

I remember one day
I got into a fight with
other boys of my village,

and ran home and complained
to her "Gogo, Gogo, those
boys hit me."

And she'd say,

"Lucky, go back.
Go back and fight.

"Be a man.

"Be a man."

I never had
a father figure
in my life,

and we were poor.

I started stealing things
like bread and cans of food

to help my grandmother
feed all of us.

When she asked me
where I got the stuff,

I always told her that
I did some piece job
for the man at the shop.

I could see in her eyes
that she did not always
believe me.

My gogo was like
the salt of the earth.

(SPEAKING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

After dinner, she would read
stories to us from the Bible.

Those were the
best times of my life.

(READING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

And then,

she died when
I was 13 years.

I've been hungry
in my life,

and my gogo
always said,

"Lucky,

"the big hunger
is the hunger for
meaning of life.

"If you don't find that,
you'll stay hungry forever."

My gogo was gone.
What could I do?

I tried to do piece jobs
here and there, but I started
stealing things to survive.

Mostly food.

That is how
it all started.

Here, Andre.
Thanks, Maria.

Just tomato sauce.

You look like
a train went over you.
I'm fine.

You are searching
in the wrong places.

You gonna preach
to me now, Maria?

If there's one thing
I must do this morning,
it's to give you this.

Oh, come on, Maria.

Read that.

Verse 33.
You'll find your answers.

Thanks.

"But seek ye first the kingdom
of God and his righteousness,

"and all these things
shall be added unto you."

Morning, Maria.
MARIA: Morning, Jake.

That sounds lekker.

Let's try it.

Yeah, it's coming together.

Hey, Andre. Check
your progression. BMW.

(IMITATES CRASHING SOUND)

BMW again.

(LAUGHING)

What's next?
A bicycle?

Let's try this thing.

From the top.

I've got some
lyrics for this.

Listen to it and tell me
what you think.

* I'm turning bends
and circling on this road
that leads me on

* I'm reaching for
what's real to me

* What once was true is gone

* Fill my glass up
just one more time

* As I soldier on
I might belong and feel
the warmth of home

* If I do believe in all of me
I might just be strong

* Why can't I see
myself through your eyes

Listen, bud, I'm sorry.
I obviously pressed
the wrong button.

You know what?
I feel so bad and you guys
just pile it on as well.

My dad's preaching
to me and my mom's
crying all the time.

I never realized.
I'm sorry.

Get out of my downgraded car.
I wanna go.

Get out of my car, Xavier.
Okay, relax, relax.

* What if life is just

* Full of lonelies
at a disco

* Where I dance
the night away

* To the beat
of an aching heart

* Somehow I still feel

* That there must be

* More to this life

* Somehow I know what's real

* Why can't I

* Make up my mind

* Over something
that might define me *

(INAUDIBLE)

No, no, no, no, no.
It's another day,
it's another game.

You can't make up the
rules as you go along.

Yeah, the guy can't find
his off switch. At this rate,
you're gonna come short.

Dude.
Inside, man.

First round's
on Andre, boys.

Yes, sir,
how can I help you?

Sorry to bother you.
I'm Philip Brawn
from the bank.

I'm sorry, but
I might have some
bad news for you.

Grab a seat, there.

My wife, Marlene.

Hello, pleased to meet you.
Hi.

You signed surety
for Mr. Harmse.
Yes.

Unfortunately,
Mr. Harmse has
defaulted on his payments,

making you therefore liable
for the outstanding amount of

438,000 rand.
The paperwork's there
if you wanna have a look.

(COUGHING)

I'm so sorry.

Um...

We're just going through
a really stressful time
at the moment.

I'll have a look
at the paperwork,

and we'll get back to the
bank as soon as possible.

Thank you.

I do appreciate it.

Bye-bye.
Bye.

I can't believe that
brother-in-law of yours.

He didn't even have the
decency to call me to tell me
there might be a problem.

So what do you
want me to do, John?
It is not my fault.

My dad always said
never sign surety
for anyone.

(CHUCKLES)

So now it's my fault?

First you thank me,
and now you blame me.

It is not your fault, John.
It is nobody's fault.

It's just one
of those things.
One of those things?

The man could
have called us.

I never wanna see
him again as long
as I live. Never.

So where does
that leave me?

Charmaine is still
my sister, you know.

Who cares!

Gavin!

(JOHN COUGHING)

What is this?

It's an invoice
for clear coat.

You're overspending, man.
You're destroying
our cash flow.

Dad, we're using this.

John, I have some
bad news for you.

You have a disease
that's very common amongst
people in your profession.

It's called
Spray Painters Lungs.

It's caused by the
inhalation of those fumes
over the years.

So how long does
it take to heal?

Well, I'm sorry, John,
but the damage is permanent.

Look, I can give you
something to suppress
the symptoms somewhat,

but I'll never be able
to actually cure
your disease.

I'm sorry, John.
I really am.

There goes my insurance.

John Peters, you are
in big trouble now.

God,

this is John.

I don't know
if you know me

because we haven't
really met.

Well, not personally
like this.

I just came to ask...

I hope you can hear me.

And I hope you don't mind
if I ask you for your help

with a few things
in my life.

I'm sorry.
I've been drinking.

Again. Please help me.

Please.

That's all.
Thank you.

Hey, where do you
think you're going?

Going out.

Gonna go meet my friend.
Come on, Andre.

You've been drinking already.
You're not going
anywhere, man.

Back off, Dad.

Not a child anymore.
I'm going.

...you are.
James, please leave it.

Hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey!
Hey!

Hang on, hang on.
No! It's my life, Dad!

Back off!

Leave it now.

My life.

My life!

Listen. Let's play
it safe. Just hit it
softly into the corner.

Even if you miss it...

I don't feel like
playing it safe, brother.

Fine.
Don't play it safe.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord.

Lord, where did I go wrong?

(SOBS)

I think I've lost my son.

I'm angry with him.

Look! I think Andre
wants to dice.

MANDY:
No, please, don't.

Oh, come on,
it'll be fun.

No, it's dangerous.
Don't be such a spoilsport.

But the roads are wet.

Please don't,
it's too dangerous.

Race.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

I've prayed.

I've pleaded with him.

I wish I could erase
everything and
just start again.

You're going too fast.
Just slow down a bit.

Whoa. Check them out.

(LAUGHING)

(GIRL SCREAMING)

I'll let go, I'll let go,
I'll let go...

Oh, no!

I'll back off.

Andre!

Andre, buddy,
can you hear me?
(GROANING)

TERRANCE: Juan, is he okay?

He's okay. Go around
and take his legs.

His legs on that side.
His legs are stuck.

Go around and try
and help me to yank it out.

MANDY: Guys, the car's
burning. We have to
get him out!

TERRANCE: Juan,
just get out of the car.
It's going to explode!

We've gotta get his leg out.
Just get out of the car!

It's going to explode!
JUAN: We can't leave him!

Have you got it?

Pull!

Got his legs.

JUAN: Get him away
from the car.

(SIRENS WAILING)

Hi, Aunt Helen.

It's Juan speaking.

Please, Lord,
give us another chance.

Please, Lord,
let him be okay.

ANDRE: Dad?

I'm right here, don't worry.

You'll be all right, boy.

Dad.

Mr. and Mrs. Cloete.
Yeah.

Your son's stable now,

but we don't know
if he's going to
make it yet.

(SOBBING)

What about...
He has internal injuries.

He has broken ribs,
punctured his lungs.

But the real problem
is his ruptured liver.

That can go
either way.

The next 24 hours
will be crucial.

We'll just have
to wait and see.

I'm really sorry.

(SOBBING)

JAMES: It's okay.

(SOBBING) Andre,

I know I've said
things that I...

And I'm not
proud of that.

I'm sorry.

You're my boy.

Forgive me for not
showing you the love
that I should have.

I just want you to know
that I love you, Andre.

I want you
to know that.

And just...

Just follow
your dreams.

Please.

Not mine,
follow your dreams.

HERMAN:
Time to fill up, boys.

Lucky,

what do you drink?
Coke, please.

BEN: Herman?
Yeah, thanks.

HERMAN: All right, thank you,
you can fill it up.

I got to go...

(SIGHS)

Yeah, well.

If a man's got to go,
a man's got to go, no?

Oh.

You're letting me
go alone?

I would rather crawl naked
over crushed glass

than be handcuffed
to you in there.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, Lucky.

I've decided
to trust you.

Dad.

Can I talk to you?

Listen, now.

I went to the doctor.

I had a full medical.

Wanted a life
insurance policy.

Well, I've got
some sort of a...

A lung disease.

The doctors can't
do anything about it.

I want you to
promise me that

if anything happens,

you'll look after
Marlene and the girls.

Yes, of course.
Of course, Dad.

Listen, I'm sorry
about the way I've...

I'm just stressed,

and the business is
under financial pressure,

and I miss Melvin.

It's not your fault.

I miss him.
I miss him, too, Dad.
I miss him, too.

(SPEAKING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

...as I was saying ma...

...my son is doing
his second year,
studying law.

Wow, he is educated.

I want to understand
how you manage,

everything is
so expensive
these days.

I was so blessed
because he received
a bursary.

You are blessed,
if our sons could
become friends.

It will be a good thing,
because I'm praying to God

to change his thinking,
he is like a criminal...

Gogo, can I sit
that side?

What happened
to your face?

It's a long story.

Where are you going?

I am going
to visit my family.

Where do you work?

I work in Cape Town.

You are fortunate,
work is difficult
to find these days.

What kind of work
do you do?

I'm a second hand
car salesman.

Praise God for that,
it is hard to find work.

Driver,
stop on the left...

Well, looks like your prayers
have been answered.

What do you mean?

He escaped.

He went for a pee
and didn't come back.

Went out the back window.

Why did you let him free?

I decided to trust him.

(CHUCKLES)

You decided
to trust him.

Suppose we have to
stay here for the night.

Yeah, we will never
get there now, today.

By the way, I...

I didn't pray for this.

(INDISTINCT)

(SPEAKING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Hi, how are you?

(SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Oh, Lucky.

The big hunger is

the hunger for
the meaning of life.

You can't find that,

you'll stay hungry forever.

I still think
I did the right thing.

You know better than
anybody you can't force
somebody to believe.

John.

Look at this.

Don't you want
to go to this
men's conference?

Please?

Do it for me.

I've read about
this Mr. Buchan guy.

He's not a minister,
he's an ordinary guy.

Potato farmer.

He understands men
and the challenges
that they face.

MARLENE:
John, I love you.

And I pray for you.

Every day.

I know Melvin's death
broke your heart.

And I know that
a lot of other stuff
has happened since then.

Psalm 147, verse 3.

It says that God heals
the brokenhearted,

and he binds up
their wounds.

Jesus wants
to heal you, John.

Please go to this
Mighty Men's Conference.

Okay, my babe. I'll go.

ANDRE: After the accident,
I healed miraculously,

but I did not learn
my lesson.

Even though
I healed physically,

something was still
very much missing.

And I kept on drinking.

I think it was just
overcompensation
for the guilt.

PLAYER: We won!

No way!

Lekker game, eh?
Yeah.

Okay, what's happening?

I'm sorry, I can't join you.
I'm gonna go to church.

Did he say "church"?

Hey, bud. When did
you get religious?

I'm not religious.
I'm a believer.

There's a difference.

Let's go.

(GRUNTS)

You're my
best friend, man.

You're like
a brother to me.

I'm sorry
about the money.

Why don't you come with me
to this Mighty Men thing
in Greytown?

What's this, like
a Christian thing?

Have you gone soft
or something?

(LAUGHING)

You gave me a fright.

(SIGHS)

Thank God.

...with the red
flowers and...

Hey, I bought
that jacket.
Hey, hey, hey.

That looks familiar.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

HERMAN: Looks like
an old friend.

Hello, hello, hello.

Look who we have here.

Can you believe it?

BEN: Ooh.

What happened
to his head?

Not guilty.

Hey, Lucky.

Where you going?

Guys, I'm...

I'm almost home.
It's fine.

Yeah, well, get in.
We'll give you a lift.

Please, guys.

Just let me go.

I'm tired of this.
HERMAN: Lucky.

You're free.

But like I told you.

Now you must choose.

BEN: Come on.

Let me have a look
at your head.

No more handcuffs,
I promise.

Come on, get in.

ANDRE: Obviously, after
everything that happened,

I felt extremely guilty
and disappointed in myself.

But the fact that my dad
backed off completely
made things so much worse.

But he came in one day and
proposed that my brother and
I join him on a trip to Natal,

to attend Angus Buchan's
Mighty Men Conference
on his farm.

I wasn't a fan,

but my feelings of guilt
compelled me to go.

JOHN: Bye-bye now.
I'll call you.
MARLENE: You'll be all right?

Please be careful,
John. Please.

Girls, come on.
Give me a hug.

Be good, eh?

Okay, bye.
Bye.

Bye, darling.

Just enjoy it, okay?

I'll try.

Gavin, enjoy your day,
and please tell Arina
I am sorry I won't be there.

Come on, Dad,
before you put
your helmet on.

Say goodbye properly.

Come here.
Give me a hug.

Thanks.

Well, I'll see you guys
after the weekend.

BEN: It is difficult
to describe in words

how I felt when Lucky took us
to his mother's and
his gogo's graves that day.

Lucky showed us
where he grew up,

h gogo's house,
the school he went
to as a child.

I got a glimpse
of his world.

So fresh, innocent.

But all the odds
stacked up against him.

This is where
my aunt used to live.

Right here.
Upward.

(SINGING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

BEN: I looked at those
children's faces, and
I thought how much I have

and how little they have.

I thought,
"I can't change it,
I can't change anything,

"but perhaps I could
make a difference

"in one child's life.

"In Lucky's life."

At one stage,
I started giving over,

and I started just
experiencing this journey.

But all through the journey,
there was something else.

Some other force
controlling us.

Controlling all of us.

Lucky.

I'm so glad you decided
to come with us.

ANGUS: The men came
by the thousands.

The dream that
I had as a boy,

sitting on that anthill,
had come to pass.

God showed me once more

that the only way
that we can please him
is by faith.

And he will
always reward us
if we seek him.

Nobody can explain

why God decided to reach
these men in this
particular way.

But he did.

ANGUS: Amen!
CROWD: Amen!

Amen!
Amen!

Amen!

See, a good idea is not
always a God idea.

You need to start doing
what God's told you to do.

And that's why some of us
here today are unhappy.

Because you're in the
wrong place, my boy.

And that's why some
of you can't understand why
you got no joy in your life.

You're in the wrong place
at the wrong time, man.

You say to me, "Angus,

"I feel like I'm going
to...explode

"if something doesn't happen.
I can't take it anymore.

"The pressure's
killing me, man.

"I owe money.

"I don't seem to be able
to do anything right.

"I need help." Well,
that's why I'm here.

I'm here to tell you that
he's gonna help you.

But you know what's going
to happen when you go home?
Things are gonna change.

You're gonna start
making proper decisions.

And you're not gonna budge,
because you've been
waiting on God.

You're gonna
have a new life.

Amen!
CROWD: Amen!

This is South Africa.
God's got his hand
on this nation.

God's depending on you.

God will speak to you.

I know he will speak to you.

I'll never forget it
as long as I live.

A young lady in the middle
of that crowd cried out,
"Angus, we want peace!

"We want vrede!"

(PREACHING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Everywhere I go, whether
it's Israel, between
Palestinians and Jews.

Ireland, Roman Catholics
and Protestants.

Africa, black and white.

One word, "peace."

Well, I want to tell you
we have the answer.

I know him personally.

I know
the Prince of Peace.

He gave me peace, boys.

We need to do what
he's told us to do.

No more, no less.

Then you have peace
and joy in your heart.

Those who wait
upon the Lord,

they shall renew
their strength.

They shall mount up
with wings like eagles!

Amen!
CROWD: Amen!

Amen!
Amen!

I come here because
I'm a son, and I'm coming
for my inheritance.

And Jesus told me,
"Angus, I've anointed you

"to preach the gospel
to the poor."

Some of the poorest people
I've met are rich people.

I've met some
of the richest people
in the world,

never mind South Africa,
and they were good people.

And they're lonely,
and they're sad.

They're trying to work
themselves to heaven.

It'll never work, man.

Trying to win
their kids' love
by buying things.

Doesn't work, man.

Your son wants you, my boy.

You tell that rebellious son
of yours, "My boy, I want
to tell you I love you."

And spend some time in
with your boy.

Let him get on that tractor
with you and go and work
in the fields, man.

Let him tend those cattle
with you, man.

Take him down the mine
and show him what
you really do, man.

And you'll change
his life forever.

You see, it's love
that covers a multitude
of sins.

It's not fancy scriptures
and fancy talking
and fancy theology.

It's undiluted love.

Greater love hath
no man than this,

than a man laid down
his life for his friend.

Go home and get
your house in order.

Starting with
your own life, sir.

Boys, we don't know
how much time
we got left, man.

You didn't think
you'd see me again
in 2009, right?

It was Saturday,
it was this service,
do you remember?

Straight afterwards,
I walked out and I had
a heart attack.

They took me home,
I had another one.

I was lying on the lawn
in the front of my house,
totally paralyzed.

I could hear everything,
I could see everything.

But I could not
speak or move.

I was thinking,
"Lord, how can this be?

"I've waited for this moment
all my life, and now this."

It made no sense
to me at all.

As that helicopter pilot
took off over the crowd,

I saw multitudes of hands
lifted up to heaven,
praying for me.

Then God said to me
in my heart,

"Do you see all
these men, Angus?

"I want you to realize

"that I am doing
the work here
in these men's lives

"through my spirit.

"You are only
the instrument

"that I happen to be
using at this time."

One thing
I learned that day,

that life is but a vapor.

We do not have
time to waste.

And we need to do the
important things whilst
there is still time left.

Then your prayers healed me in
15 minutes on that helicopter
going to Pietermaritzburg.

Boys, we don't know
how much time
we got left, man.

Maybe tomorrow.

Perhaps today.

Amen!
CROWD: Amen!

Amen!
Amen!

Amen!
Amen!

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Xavier.

How's it, bud?
How you doing?

I've got something
to tell you.

Oh, no, what happened?
Hang on, hang on.

Are you okay?
Where are you?

No, I'm fine,
I'm fine.

I'm on my way back from
the Mighty Men Conference.

And

I've given
my life to God.

I can't believe it.
Are you serious?

Yeah, Uncle Angus said
that I must tell the first
three people that I speak to

and, well, you're
the first to know.

You don't know how long
I've been praying
for you, bud.

Thank you.

* Come waltz with me
through the twilight

Thank you.

* And we will dance
as seasons pass

* We move together

* I'll be forever yours

* So hold me tight

* Say you'll be mine

* For all your life

* Till death
comes between us

* And the heavens
steal you away

* I'll stay yours forever

* Don't you worry

* Don't be afraid

MAN: What's going on?

STEPHEN: John and I...

I suppose you could
hardly say met,

but when we found John
on a cold,

miserable, rainy day

after the accident,

I started praying for John.
That's the first thing
that I did.

And while I was
praying for him,
I heard God

loud and clear in my head,
"Stephen, you can stop
praying now.

"John's with me."

And it was literally a couple
of seconds later that John
took his last breaths.

I think the thing
that struck me is that

when that happens,
you realize
very quickly that

life can be
snuffed out
in an instant.

It just happens so quickly.

It's great for me
to be able to tell you
that just the day before,

John gave his heart
to the Lord.

So I have
no doubt whatsoever
that he's gone home.

That he's free, that
he's completely healed.

We sort of get mixed up
in all the questions,

"Do I do enough each day
to get into heaven?

"Have I done enough
and put in enough time
to earn God's favor?"

When actually,
just like John,
all you need to say is,

"Lord, I give you my heart.

"Thank you
for your forgiveness."
It's as easy as that.

"Thank you for your love.

"For your grace.

"Thank you for your favor.

"And thank you for Jesus."

And today,
we say thank you

for John.

(BIKE ENGINES REVVING)

Lord,

I'm scared.

And I'm alone.

Please.

I'm gonna miss you, John.

* Strange...

I'm gonna miss you.

* ...the path we choose

* I've tried but failed
to walk in someone else's
shoes

* Strange how I've tried

* To walk this road
alone not knowing

* The things I might find

JAMES: What this boy needed
was my acceptance.

Not expectations.

Acceptance, from me.

His father.

* But now that
I have given in

* Your love has
washed away my sin

* I know I'm

* I know I'm

* I know I'm

* Forgiven

* I know I'm

* I know I'm

* I know I'm

* Forgiven

LUCKY: I came back to
Gugulethu to tell people
how much God loves them.

(SPEAKING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Kappi.

Kappi.

God's grace for you.

And your friends.

All the best.

Thanks. Thank you
for everything, man.

Bless you.

You take care now.

(SPEAKING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Here is God's word
for you...

Lucky... what is this?

God's word...

(CHUCKLES)

This is rubbish.

Rubbish, man.

Kappi listen here...

I do not want to listen...

Kappi you must change...

* Jesus, Jesus

* Take me over now

LUCKY: I want to be
an Angus Buchan
for the Cape Flats.

And for the first time
in my life,

I felt that
I had a purpose.

I know my gogo
would have been
proud of me.

God's ways are most
of the time so different
to our ways.

In a shepherd boy,
he saw a great king.

In a potato farmer,
he saw a mighty man
for Christ.

What does he see in you?

* Walk across the shore

* Walk across the sea

* Stand up on the waves

* And walk with me

* Journey through the door

* Come see what I can see

* All the reasons
we were made

* Who we were meant to be

* Rise!

* He is calling you to come

* Just leave it all behind

* And rise above

* Beyond the obvious

* And what you can attain

* Past the here and now

* Where faith remains

* Lift your weary head

* There is too much left
to lose

* More than you can imagine

* It's waiting there for you

* Rise!

* He is calling you to come

* Just leave it all behind

* And rise above

* Come and stand

* And join with me as one

* Now take my hand and we

* Will rise above

* Yeah, yeah

(VOCALIZING)

* Yeah, yeah

* Yeah

* Yeah

* Rise!

* He is calling you to come

* Just leave it all behind

* And rise above

* Come and stand

* And join with me as one

* Now take my hand and we

* Will rise above

(VOCALIZING)

* Come stand with me

* Come stand with me
