Karol The Man Who Became Pope
Karol: A Man Who Became Pope (2005)
Starring: Piotr Adamczyk, Malgorzata Bela, Ken Duken, Hristo Shopov, Matt Craven
1930's Poland. 10-year-old Karol Wojtyla has dreams, many dreams. One by one they are shattered. First, by the loss of his beloved mother and brother. Then, by the outbreak of the war and the death-fleeing human exodus which ensued. And finally, by the first signs of the Jewish persecution.
These events will mark the start of Karol's long journey from worker, to poet and teacher. A journey full of encounters that eventually leads him to become a priest and finally, in 1978, to become the man we all know, a man who has marked an era, a man who has made history. Pope John Paul II.
"...a word of admiration to the director and writer and especially Piotr Adamczyk who played the part of John Paul II." Pope Benedict XVI
