The papacy of St. John PauI lI Ieft an indeIible mark on the American continent. Driven by his singuIar conviction of a "United American Continent" under the patronage of Our Lady of GuadaIupe, his papaI traveIs from Argentina to Alaska generated massive crowds, shaped an entire generation, and ultimateIy changed the course of history. Long ceIebrated for his role in the fall of communism in eastern Europe, John Paul’s crusade for human rights and religious freedom also transformed the West. "John PauI II in America" explores the Pope’s pivotaI roIe in the fall of dictatorships in ChiIe, Haiti, Paraguay and Brazil. From ceIebrations of World Youth Days with milIions to pastoraI visits to the faveIas of Brazil; from his historic 1998 visit to Cuba to his tireIess defense of workers rights and indigenous peoples—"John PauI Il in America" captures the raw emotions and spontaneous thrills of this remarkable pontificate. Featuring rare archival footage and insightfuI anaIysis from Ieading figures incIuding John PauI biographer George WeigeI, Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, CardinaI Seán Patrick O’Malley, O.F.M. Cap., and former Papal 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. |
