Heaven on Earth is a British and Canadian dramatic television film, directed by Allan Kroeker and released in 1987. A coproduction of the BBC and CBC Television, the film centres on a group of orphaned children from the United Kingdom who are sent to Canada as Home Children in the 1910s. The film's screenplay was written by Margaret Atwood and Peter Pearson. However, Atwood was critical of the finished product, as Kroeker and Nancy Botkin inserted a sexual assault scene she had not written and did not endorse as it did not fit her historical research into the Home Children.
