TALKING TO HEAVEN

“Newsweek Magazine” says “it is impossible not to be moved” by the story of James Van Praagh, the world-renowned medium whose chronicle of life after death became a phenomenal #1 “New York Times” bestseller. For the millions who were touched by Praagh’s “Talking to Heaven”, comes the equally inspiring film of his remarkable life and work.

James Van Praagh (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Ted Danson, Gulliver’s Travels) has been haunted by psychic visitations since he was a child. Terrified by the gift, he’s encouraged by his friend Midge (Oscar and Golden Globe nominee Queen Latifah, Chicago) to explore it even further. He’s also encouraged by his mother (Oscar and Emmy–nominee, Golden Globe winner Diane Ladd, Christy: A Change of Seasons) — after she dies — to accept it as a blessing. He has no choice when a criminal investigation plunges James into the realm between life and death as he struggles to make a connection between his experiences with the beyond — and a thirty-year-old unsolved murder.

In death, seven young boys have appeared before James. Each of them has ties to another boy named Eddie who first came to James many years ago in search of help. When James turns to Detective Karen Condrin (Oscar and Golden Globe winner Mary Steenburgen, Gulliver’s Travels) to help him identify the children, they both embark on a remarkable journey toward solving the crime, and helping the lost boys continue their path toward Heaven. The experience also paves the way for Praagh to become an internationally recognised force in spiritual clairvoyance.
