WATCH: Trailer for Lee Strobel's Case for Heaven documentary

'Is there anything after we die?' is the question asked and answered in Lee Strobel's book and now film, The Case for Heaven.

In the documentary, Strobel explores the evidence for the afterlife. It includes interviews with well-known Christian leaders and authors such as Francis Chan, John Burke, and Luis Palau.

"Heaven, for billions of people around the world, is an awe-inspiring place only fully known once you’re there," says director Mani Sandoval. "In this film, I believe audiences will experience our most ambitious attempt to sonically, emotionally and cinematically touch Heaven – even if it’s just for a second."

It also includes an interview with a former Christian singer who left the faith, Jon Steingard, from the band Hawk Nelson. 

"I have absolutely no idea what happens after we die," says Steingard in the trailer for the film. 

Strobel, who also authored The Case for Christ, The Case for Faith, The Case for the Creator, and more, was once an atheist. His own near-death experience roughly ten years ago is what prompted him to write this book on the afterlife.

"I had a condition called hyponatremia, which is a drop in blood sodium level," Strobel told The Christian Post. "For a while there, I hovered between life and death until doctors saved me. That was kind of a wake-up call for me. It’s a very clarifying experience to be hovering over that border between life and death. And that’s kind of the seed that ultimately resulted in this book because, as a Christian, I believe if I died, I would go to Heaven to be with God, but I also have a skeptical nature."

The documentary hits theatres this April for three nights only from Monday, April 4, through Wednesday, April 6. It's put on by Fathom Events and Sandoval Studios.

"The pandemic has a lot of people pondering what happens after people close their eyes for the last time in this world. This film provides compelling evidence from both inside and outside the Bible to show that we will, indeed, continue to live on."
