5.0 out of 5 stars Story of Courage, Hope and Love, 17 Jun 2008
By Gary Selikow (Great Kush) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Far-off Place (Paperback)
A Far Off Place is the sequel to the bestseller by Laurens Van der Post, 'A Story Like The Wind'. Hunters Drift is a farm in Matabeleland (today part of Zimbabwe)
It is the home of Pierre Paul Joubert known affectionately by all who live there as 'Ouwa', where European, Matabele and Bushmen live in harmony with each other , and with the great flora and fauna of Africa.
This is before the forces of destruction and death, Marxist terrorists, massacre the whole population of Hunter's Drift , as they carve a path of blood through Southern Africa.
The only survivors are Ouwa's teenage son, Francois, Nonnie, the young daughter of a colonial governor and his Portuguese wife, both murdered by the terrorists and Francois' beloved hunting dog, Hintza. They are joined by a young Bushman, Xhabbo, and his wife, Nuin Tarra.

The four young people and brave dog , must pass through bush and desert , to safety , while pursued by the cold-blooded killers.

'A Far Off Place' is a heartwarming story of love hope and courage, and of survival against overwhelming odds. It is about the fine balance between all living creatures.
Not least it highlights the death and suffering caused so many times by those forces of evil that hide behind the slogans of revolution and 'Liberation'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Witherspoon Shines, 14 Jan 2005
In one of Reese's earlier performances, A Far off Place tells the tale of two youngsters living in Africa whose parents are killed by poachers. They must then depend on a local bushman to guide them across the Kalahari desert where they must find safety, but with the killers on they're trail and the vengeance of the desert, it's an adventure of endurance.
Both Witherspoon and Ethan Embry give outstanding performances in this Disney picture. Also both recently seen together on-screen in Sweet Home Alabama. A definite for your DVD collection.
