* AdaptationDecay: Many of the most spiritual parts of Groberg's memoirs were AdaptedOut in order to appeal to a broader audience. The most {{JustForFun/Egregious}} example is the scene with the injured child. The book describes how Elder Groberg and his companion healed the boy through faith and the authority granted to them, by [[HealingHands the laying on of hands.]] The movie shows Elder Groberg performing something that's maybe supposed to be [[CleanPrettyReliable CPR]] to revive him.

''The Other Side of Heaven'' is a 2002 movie based on the book by Mormon Leader John H. Groberg about his experience as a missionary in the Polynesian nation of Tonga in the 1950's.
As a boy who grew up in the potato fields of Idaho, John (Christopher Gorham) never expected to travel to such a foreign locale and teach them about his faith. Just getting through customs was an adventure in itself, and then he hits the CultureClash and struggling to learn their language. He learns to sleep on the floor, he has a Tongan missionary partner Feki guide him through the quirks of the people, he deals with typhoons and even being shipwrecked at one point. But through all of that, Tonga became his home and the people there became his family.
