Pope John Paul II The Story of a Holy Life
Pope John Paul II The Story of A Holy Life
The first Polish Pope ever, and the first non-Italian Pope since 1522, Pope John Paul II is known as "the great communicator." This fascinating biography traces the Pope's life from his humble beginnings in a small Polish town, to his rise into the most important position in the Catholic Church. It also details some of the challenges he has faced along the way, including the death of close family members, living through WWII, and his personal struggle to find direction in his life. These circumstances are portrayed in vivid fashion, all the while leading up to his decision to pursue a life in the Church. A tireless champion of the Catholic Faith, the Pope is shown as a moving orator, whether speaking in front of a crowd in his native Poland, a captive audience in war-torn Ireland or before a United Nations in New York. A combination of stirring live footage and brilliant archival photography effectively captures the life of one of the most influential men of the last 100 years.
