Witness To Hope: The Life Of Pope John Paul II

Last Minute Sales & Specials

Based on George Weigel's best-selling book of the same title, "Witness To Hope" is a complete and intimate portrait of the extraordinary leader. The feature length documentary explores in depth the experiences and personalities that helped form the man the world knows as Pope John Paul II. Shaped by the terrors of Nazi-occupied Poland and the subsequent brutalities of the Communist regime, John Paul II became one of the world's greatest proponents of religious freedom and human rights. With rare historical stills and archival footage, along with new location footage taken in Rome and Poland, this richly textured film traces the personal life and struggles of the first non-Italian pope in over 450 years.
