KAROL, A Man Who Became Pope and The Pope, The Man. Two Complete Mini-Series (6 hrs 25 minutes))

Movie / Show Details

Director Giacomo Battiato presents two Italian miniseries chronicling the life of Karol Wojtyla, who became Pope John Paul II. The first follows the young Wojtyla from his aspirations as an actor, writer, and poet through the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, his creation of an underground theatre as an act of resistance, and his decision to enter the priesthood despite personal sacrifice. The second miniseries picks up as Communist rule grips Poland, showing Wojtyla’s courageous stand against totalitarian authorities, a resistance that reverberates across his homeland and the world, ultimately leading to his election to the papacy in Rome.

Both complete miniseries are presented on one DVD with a total runtime of six hours and twenty-five minutes. Ennio Fantastichini, Hristo Shopov, Ken Duken, Malgorzata Bela, Matt Craven, and Piotr Adamczyk star in this biography and drama that blends historical events with spiritual exploration.
