Brooks Douglass co-wrote, produced, and stars in Heaven’s Rain, an
inspiring, remarkable, and true story of survival and triumph over tragedy.
In 1979, sixteen-year -old Brooks, and his twelve-year-old sister, Leslie, were
living in rural Oklahoma with their parents, Rev. Richard and Marilyn
Douglass, when two drug-crazed drifters invaded their home, tied up the
family, raped Leslie, and shot them all, leaving the parents dead and the
children clinging to life.

Both Leslie and Brooks survived to testify against
the two men who were eventually convicted of killing their parents.
This inspiring story depicts the aftermath of the tragedy and the
emotional tailspin Brooks endures as he tries to get his life back on track.
Deeply affected by his experience, Brooks graduated from law school,
became Oklahoma’s youngest State Senator, and a dedicated champion for
victims’ rights. But it’s the surprise ending that reveals the true character of
Brooks Douglass.
