STORIES THAT INSPIRE

PATH TO HEAVEN: THE TRAILER

One family's search for a B24 and the synchronicities that charted their path

The remarkable search for a B-24 Liberator lost during World War II and the eleven brave crewmen who vanished with it. Among them was 2nd Lt. Tomas V. Kelly, long remembered only by a modest gravestone, until one relative’s quiet act of remembrance sparked an extraordinary journey of discovery and homecoming.

 

Path To Heaven is currently making its debut in film festivals across the United States. It has been nominated as a finalist in this year's Veteran and Military Awards (VMA) and was an official selection at the Oscar qualifying Maryland International Film Festival.
