Todd Burpo has a fulfilling career as a businessman, fire fighter and pastor in a caring small-town community. He also has a loving family in his wife Sonja and two children Colton and Cassie. Like any idyllic family life though, he has been struck by grief, the most recent being the heartbreaking news that Colton must undergo immediate major surgery after collapsing on the brink of death. Afterwards, Colton reveals to his parents a series of revelations enough to shock the world. He recounts how he saw himself in hospital and describes the separate rooms his parents were waiting in, he reveals how he met his stillborn second sister and also accurately describes the grandfather he never met. Todd is convinced Colton has experienced a slice of the afterlife, but it's not enough to convince the sceptical town who are not ready to accept such a seemingly impossible truth.

'Heaven Is For Real' is based on a moving true story that was made into a bestselling book of the same name by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent. Directed by Oscar nominated Randall Wallace ('Secretariat', 'We Were Soldiers', 'The Man in the Iron Mask') and co-written by Chris Parker ('Battle of the Year', 'Mulan 2', 'Vampire in Brooklyn'), this magical drama is now available in cinemas.
