About this product

Product Information

Based on Elder John Groberg's memoirs, THE OTHER SIDE OF HEAVEN, Mitch Davis' feature debut stars Christopher Gorham (A LIFE LESS ORDINARY) as John Groberg, a 19-year-old missionary who goes to Rarotonga to convert the native Indians to Christianity. In the process, he has to face a number of frightening events that change his life forever. Hungry rats eat the soles of his feet, he is almost killed by a hurricane that devastates the island so that their food supplies run out and he starves, and he is caught in a storm at sea and nearly dies until he floats to safety. All the while he is reassured and strengthened by the sweet letters from his fiancée, Jean Sabin (Anne Hathaway, THE PRINCESS DIARIES). The film veers on the fantastic and is peppered with nostalgia; a full moon peeks through soft fans of tree branches, and Jean spends much of her time gracefully gowned in frilly fifties frocks. Many members of the cast and crew are New Zealanders and Miriama Smith and Nathaniel Lees are both well-established New Zealand actors.

  • Uplifting adventure...

    Being a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I know hundreds of Missionaries who go out for 2 yrs (give or take!!) They face many challenges & come home with a different outlook on life & many experience great change. It was a wonderful insight into an exemplary life & the challenges Elder Groberg faced & overcame. It is a great date night movie as well as something the entire family will enjoy!

  • South seas simplicity of life meet a Mormon missionary.

    Really simple little story based on true events focused around one very naive young Mormon missionary traveling to the south seas. The starving sequence and the ingenue portrayal by Anne Hathaway following up on Nicholas Nickleby were not at all believable. Plus, the early entry of graphic moral innuendos into a Disney film was disappointing but could not completely detract from the tenderheartedness of the well portrayed main character.

  • Very intertaining!

    I already had this movie and was wanting to watch it again but couldn't find it so I reordered it. Then I realized I had loaned it to my friend and she loved the movie too! :) So I let her keep it! I didn't know it was LDS when I originally ordered it but that made no difference. It is a great movie.

  • A happy story overall about a young man's mission experience.

    This is a story of a young man who goes for a couple of years into a remote island mission field, and his engaging experiences. A clean happy story---not without crises. Not really violent, uplifting.

  • Uplifting Movie

    Its through our toughest trials that we are stretched enough to endure and to ultimately thrive in life. That is the story of John Groberg being called to serve in some pacific islands. Absolutely love this true life story of a brave young man who gives up all to serve a people he never had known before.
