A NEW Italian film called Karol: The Story of a Man Who Became Pope will be aired on the American Hallmark Channel next Monday.
The film was shot at the Vatican and in Krakow, Poland. It relates the life of the late Pope from his involvement in the arts as a youth, through his response to a priestly vocation, up to his election to the papacy.
John Paul II saw the film in a private viewing before his death and was “very impressed” with the portrayal.
