Karol: A Man Who Became Pope, DVD

The story of the man who would become Pope. In 1930s' Poland, 10-year-old Karol Wojtyla has many dreams. One by one they are shattered. First, by the loss of his beloved mother and brother, then, by the outbreak of the war and the death-fleeing human exodus which ensued. And finally, by the first signs of the Jewish persecution. Those events will mark the start of Karol`s long journey from worker, to poet and teacher. A Journey full of encounters that eventually leads him to become a priest and finally, in 1978, to become the man we all now know, a man who has marked an era, a man who has made history. With an extraordinary soundtrack by multi-award winner Ennio Morricone. Released:2005, Universal Pictures. Run Time: 180 minutes. PAL DVD, Region 2 (This DVD may not be viewable outside Europe.)
