Shaun Micallef's Stairway to Heaven

Shaun Micallef travels to Salt Lake City to live, eat and pray with the Mormons before heading off with young missionaries to the jungles of the South Pacific. He then ventures to the Deserts of Utah to break bread with breakaway polygamists. This is Shaun's adventure out of Suburban Australia and back to the origins of America's own home-grown religion on a search for the meaning of life itself.

Shaun Micallef is wondering if there is more to life than being a semi-professional comedian. Travelling to the back blocks of Brazil he immerses himself in the community of world famous medium and psychic spirit healer John of God - for a chance to commune with the dead. Here Catholicism is intertwined with a belief in supernatural miracles, mediums and the afterlife.

Shaun Micallef is wondering if The End really is nigh and how to physically and spiritually prepare for the Apocalypse. Heading to America he undergoes biblical combat training with Doomsday Preppers and explores the world of TV evangelism with Born Again Christian fundamentalists. On a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he stands where Jesus is prophesied to return, before finally retreating to the Greek Island of Patmos where the Book of Revelation was scribed.
