Video Description: Visionary representation of the actual door to heaven, explaining how it is necessary to take Jesus as one\'s savior in order to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Viewer Review: A great piece of motion picture folk art that literalizes Jesus saying, \"I am the Door . . .\" The Door to Heaven in the film is represented by a white door in a wall painted with blue stars. Various people enter the Door to Heaven, but others can\'t get in because they are carrying Sin (a big box), a Heart filled with Unbelief (made out of cardboard, but if you are willing to cross out the \"Un\" you can go on in), and Riches (cloth bags with a dollar sign on them). There are few women in this film; I bet it was shown in Christian flophouses on skid row, where down-and-out men would be preached to in exchange for a hot meal and a bed for the night. It could also have been shown in prisons. The film ends and the screen goes black as a choir of men sings \"Think of the House Over There.\" Probably the group watching the film had to stand up and sing along with the voices on the film. The film\'s simplicity and sincerity underscore its minimal message \"that Jesus forgives all and that the Door to Heaven is always open to those ready to receive him.\" The preacher\'s voice on the soundtrack gives us a good idea of what evangelists of the time sounded like.
