This movie still remains one of my all time favourites. I have also been to Nieu Bethesda and saw the actual house. When I went into the house and the garden it was like walking onto the set. Kathy Bates is brilliant and even pulls of a good accent. Although the story is based on truth, the interpretation thereof omits some facts. Either way though it is a great story that really touches the heart and the soul. The movie was released locally in South Africa on VHS and I did manage to get a copy of it one day in a bargain bin at a video store. Luckily I ripped it as a digital file, since VHS players are nearly impossible to get anymore. I really wish they would release it on DVD
