A place utterly unique in British Columbia and the world, Richmond’s No. 5 Road, also known as the “Highway to Heaven,” hosts a multitude of faiths. Side by side are numerous houses of worship, including Buddhist temples, a Sikh gurdwara, Hindu and Swami temples, Shia and Sunni mosques, Christian churches, and Jewish, Islamic and Christian schools.
ABOUT THE PAIRING:
An inversion of It Must Be Heaven where a restless man is wandering westward in search of a new homeland, Highway to Heaven is an observational documentary exploring a single spot on Earth in which seemingly divergent religious ideologies co-exist in peaceful disassociation.
