Lee Strobel’s New Documentary THE CASE FOR HEAVEN to Stream Exclusively on PureFlix
By Movieguide® Contributor
Pure Flix subscribers will have exclusive access to best-selling author Lee Strobel’s new documentary, THE CASE FOR HEAVEN, which explores evidence for the afterlife, on July 15.
“Viewers will be surprised, captivated and encouraged by ‘The Case for Heaven,’ a beautiful and compelling film. It will dispel many of their misconceptions about the afterlife,” Strobel said. “I’m thrilled with the enthusiastic reception the documentary has received so far—and I can’t wait for an even wider audience to experience it.”
After the documentary’s short theatrical release in early April, Movieguide® gave THE CASE FOR HEAVEN a +2 rating: “The movie affirms the Gospel message that we are sinners who deserve Hell, but that Jesus provides eternal life through His death and resurrection. It also has a strong emphasis on the importance of fatherhood and parenting. THE CASE FOR HEAVEN does contain some graphic descriptions of near-death experiences, demons and horrific dreams. However, these are animated and not graphic visually. MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for young viewers.”
In the documentary, Strobel, an atheist turned Christian apologist, explores the evidence for an afterlife and addresses man’s greatest fear: death.
Through the testimonies of those who have had near-death experiences, Strobel, along with John Burke, Francis Chan and the late evangelist Luis Palau, get closer to answering the question, “What happens when we die.”
“This film has something to say that has clearly resonated with audiences who have questions, doubts or fears about the afterlife,” said director Mani Sandoval. “We look forward to inviting a wider audience to this journey with us as we explore the remarkable evidence and human experiences about what’s to come beyond this life.”
Pure Flix will bring this eye-opening documentary to its subscribers on July 15.
“We are pleased to partner with the largest faith-based streaming platform and home to additional content inspired by Lee Strobel’s books. Lee Strobel proving the existence of heaven utilizing facts and not simply our emotions is sure to inspire and fascinate Pure Flix subscribers,” Executive Producer Gil Sandoval shared.
Movieguide® previously reviewed THE CASE FOR HEAVEN:
THE CASE FOR HEAVEN is based on the book of the same name written by Lee Strobel. The documentary and the book seek to get to the bottom of one of life’s biggest questions: What happens after we die?
The documentary begins with narration from Strobel, setting up the evidence for an afterlife, both scientifically and spiritually. Mirroring Strobel’s book, the documentary embarks on a journey worldwide, interviewing theologians, apologists, people with personal testimonies of near-death experiences, and people from the other side of the aisle.
The documentary combines a compelling blend of sit-down interviews and animated stories from testimonials. One of the pieces of evidence for the afterlife is the scientific data for near-death experiences, where people are essentially dead, have an out-of-body experience, and end up living.
Strobel also shares insights from his book with documentary director Mani Sandoval. The movie concludes with a captivating recording of the late pastor and evangelist Luis Palau last words to Strobel. In the discussion on life and death, Strobel and other theologians also point to God’s Word, the Bible, and the hope found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Strobel also shares his personal testimony and how God redeemed him and showed him how to live with an eternal perspective.
THE CASE FOR HEAVEN has good production values and addresses an enticing subject. Lee Strobel’s reflections from his book and about life carry the primary weight of the documentary. The movie affirms the Gospel message that we are sinners who deserve Hell, but that Jesus provides eternal life through His death and resurrection. It also has a strong emphasis on the importance of fatherhood and parenting. THE CASE FOR HEAVEN does contain some graphic descriptions of near-death experiences, demons and horrific dreams. However, these are animated and not visually graphic. MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for young viewers.
