A boy’s near death experience changes the lives of others in ‘Heaven is for Real’

MANILA, Philippines- What if a child could know and see things from the past?

“Heaven is for Real” is based on the true to life story as told in a  novel by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent.

It is a story about a boy named Colton who had a near-death experience. After that incident, he started to see people and know things from the past even before he was born.

Colton’s parents, Todd and Sonja, were at first in denial of what their son is experiencing. But with the “change” he is bringing to the lives of others, they find courage to embrace and share to people their son's experience.

Starring in the film are Greg Kinnear as Todd, Kelly Reilly as Sonja, and Connor Corum as Colton.

“Heaven is for Real” is directed by Randall Wallace and will be in cinemas on April 19.
