Banking on Heaven is a documentary film which exposes the largest polygamous enclave in the United States (located in Colorado City, Arizona) and its leader, Warren Jeffs. Banking on Heaven was written, produced, and narrated by Laurie Allen, who escaped a similar polygamous sect at age sixteen (her uncle was Ervil LeBaron).

Banking on Heaven focuses on the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS Church), a schismatic polygamous sect of the Latter Day Saint movement that (at the time of the creation of the film) existed in Colorado City, Arizona. The documentary holds interviews with many escapee's as well as those that have been excommunicated from the church. The documentary also interviews law enforcement as well as Utah and Arizona State politicians and poses questions on what can be done to rescue or help the women of the FLDS.

The movie begins with the following statement: This is a film about radical Islamic terror. A dangerous ideology, fueled by religious hatred. It's important to remember most Muslims are peaceful and do not support terror. This is not a film about them. This is a film about a radical worldview, and the threat it poses to us all, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. The film uses many images from Arab TV, provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute and Palestinian Media Watch.

Centré sur un entretien où Claude Lanzmann revient sur sa vie et sur la réalisation de Shoah - les choix initiaux, les embûches, les dangers, la recherche de moyens pour mener à bien cette entreprise, l’épuisement…, Adam Benzine donne aussi à voir des fragments des rushes de Shoah.
