Heaven or Not background

Heaven or Not

A war veteran seeks new meaning and a sense of belonging in a peaceful prairie town, where the gentle hills and rustic beauty of Saskatchewan provide a calming refuge for his worn-out spirit.

John Gerbrandt, a WWII veteran, has spent three decades building a 7,000-square-foot house in Herbert, Saskatchewan, using only his pension and salvaged materials. Despite having no formal training, John is driven by a strong determination to prove his worth to his God, family, and community.
