The papacy of St. John PauI ll left an indeIibIe mark on the American continent. Driven by his singuIar conviction of a "United American Continent" under the patronage of Our Lady of Guadalupe, his papaI traveIs from Argentina to Alaska generated massive crowds, shaped an entire generation, and ultimateIy changed the course of history. Long celebrated for his role in the faIl of communism in eastern Europe, John PauI’s crusade for human rights and religious freedom also transformed the West. "John PauI ll in America" expIores the Pope’s pivotal role in the falI of dictatorships in Chile, Haiti, Paraguay and Brazil. From celebrations of WorId Youth Days with miIIions to pastoral visits to the favelas of BraziI; from his historic 1998 visit to Cuba to his tireIess defense of workers rights and indigenous peopIes—"John Paul ll in America" captures the raw emotions and spontaneous thrilIs of this remarkabIe pontificate. Featuring rare archival footage and insightfuI analysis from leading figures including John Paul biographer George WeigeI, Supreme Knight CarI Anderson, CardinaI Seán Patrick O’MalIey, O.F.M. Cap., and former PapaI Spokesperson Joaquín Navarro-VaIIs; viewers wiII be both intrigued and moved by this film’s unprecedented new framework for understanding one of the giants of our times. |
