Documenting the search for Harold Heaven, who mysteriously disappeared from his remote cabin in Ontario, Canada, in the winter of 1934. While local police searched the nearby woods and dredged the adjacent lake, Harold was never found nor heard from again. The case was unceremoniously closed as a likely suicide. Eighty-five years later, his great-great-nephew, Mike Mildon, attempts to solve this coldest of cold cases, with the help of his extended family and true-crime-obsessed best friend, Jackson Rowe.

Lauren Milici New York Magazine/Vulture 08/24/2021
The show is kind of like a dark buddy comedy à la Weekend at Bernie's or Midnight Run: Our heroes are goofy, the straits are dire, we don't know how they're gonna pull it off, but damn do we want them to. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 08/24/2021
It's a charmingly self-aware series that goes on a little too long, but it does a remarkable job of poking fun at the true crime genre while also presenting a legitimately interesting mystery. Go to Full Review Steve Greene IndieWire 03/06/2021

"For Heaven's Sake" becomes a valuable addition to local history and a valiant effort to follow through on generations of almost-mythic curiosity. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 03/05/2021
Because the filmmakers who made For Heaven's Sake don't take themselves seriously, they make the already-interesting story of Harold Heaven even more entertaining. Go to Full Review Allison Rose FlickDirect 03/04/2021

04/08/2021 It was a really well put together documentary, filled with back stories and possibilities. I am hoping that it's just the beginning.. but the way it ends it maybe over.. it left me wanting more! See more 03/13/2021 I thought it was a great combination of the true crime genre with a charming comedic edge to it. Unlike some of the true crime stuff this had a wonderful, empathetic humanity to it. See more Read all reviews
