A Heaven on Earth is the story of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, a uniquely Canadian social and political movement spanning years from the Great Depression to the early years of the 1960's. The film looks at the personalities involved their visions of a "heaven on earth" - a world characterized by co-operation, peace, equity and social justice - and brings to life the dramatic social and political upheavals which shaped the period. Highlighting the movement's contributions to social programs currently under attack, A Heaven on Earth contains a crucially important message for contemporary audiences.
