If these people are explaining the basis for the Roman Catholic teaching of the mythical Purgatory, then the Roman Catholic Church has based on a heresy on foolish "evidence" and information. I listened, with an open mind, trying to understand if there was something Biblical that I missed for the understanding of Purgatory and all I found were heretics and frauds trying to explain a non-biblical dogma with fools advice. REALLY?!?! There must be something more to this Purgatory heresy. Or, can it be true that Purgatory is a complete made-up heresy that offends the teachings of Christ?

The doctrine of the purgatory is controversial by religion. Taught by Catholic church, but denied by protestant doctrines.

The movie presents the visions of mystic saints like Faustina Kowalska and st Padre PIO along with theologian explanations of this doctrine and visions. This is a very appropriate movie for a Catholic who wants to learn more about the doctrine of the purgatory.

I'm a sucker for a good documentary (keyword "good"). I saw the trailer for this film and was uncertain whether it was a movie or a documentary. It turns out, it was a documentary with several cinematic scenes placed within. This was a great way to bring the audience in before explaining the beliefs, doctrines, and details about the place between Heaven and Hell.

Is Purgatory a place of torment? A place of salvation? A state of being? Something to be avoided? Something to be thankful for? The film explains all of these ideas and giving you the decision to come to your own answers.

The cinematic scenes of the agnostic lady opening herself to the ideas of life beyond and being visited by figures from Purgatory was perhaps the most intriguing aspect for me. Throughout the documentary I was hoping for more coverage of this character's life, but I was thankful with what it did show. There were also scenes of seemingly unrelated characters, events, and storylines, etc. Nevertheless, this film left me feeling hopeful, and the very end of it had perhaps the most beautifully filmed one-take of a documentary I have ever seen. Highly recommended.
