DVD Description
Pope John Paul II is a poet, playwright, actor, mystic, and head of the Roman Catholic Church. Shaped by the terrors of World War II and the subsequent brutalities of the Communist era in Poland, John Paul II became one of the world's greatest defenders of religious freedom and human rights. Filmed on location in Krakow and Rome, this richly textured documentary traces the personal life and struggles of John Paul II. As an underground seminarian in Nazi-occupied Poland, Karol Wojtyla practised his faith, even at the risk of imprisonment and death. He became the youngest bishop in Poland and the first non-Italian pope in more than 450 years. He challenged political oppression in Poland, championed human rights in Cuba, and travelled the world. Witness to Hope follows The Pope's spiritual journey, his struggles and triumphs using rare historical stills, archive film, and original location footage.

He is more than a priest, or even pope, he is a force. The documentary shows this, captures it. It is more than worth the watch, except the part with all the stand-ins, that is just less than inspiring.
Five stars, in all, because the end tips the scale on the beginning. John Paul II is just amazing, in my opinion. One may disagree with his teachings, but not his presence - as this documentary will show you.
I recommend it highly.
Jesper.
