This is Heaven

A documentary about a man whose life is a complex journey between trauma and compassion.

After a difficult childhood in the United States marked by homelessness, PTSD, and bipolar disorder, he ended up under dramatic circumstances on Okinawa. There, he started a family and a restaurant. The restaurant has a unique mission: all profits go towards feeding the homeless in Taiwan.

He is a man of contradictions – he longs to be loved but pushes away those who come close. In Okinawa, he is a controversial figure, appreciated by some and distrusted by others. What began as a story of giving back to those who suffer as he once did, grew into a deeper portrayal of vulnerability, strength, and the desire to find meaning in chaos.

This documentary not only captures his struggle but also explores the layers of complexity that make him an impossible figure to ignore.
