The documentary tells the story of Karol Wojtyła, Pope John Paul II, with rare footage and exclusive information. Born in Poland under Nazi and Communist occupation, he faced persecution, KGB surveillance, and miraculously survived an assassination attempt, all without ever giving in to fear. Discover how, through his faith in Christ, acts of evangelization in atheist countries, and the use of art and philosophy, John Paul II inspired millions, strengthened the Solidarity movement, and contributed to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
