Have No Fear: The Life of Pope John Paul II

The documentary traces the remarkable journey of Karol Wojtyła, a modest Polish priest who once derided the Catholic hierarchy as “a circus” and called the Pope a “prisoner of the Vatican.” After surviving the loss of his family, personal hardship and the Nazi occupation of Poland, he rose through the Church, eventually becoming Pope John Paul II. His papacy left a global legacy—uniting believers, confronting the sexual‑abuse crisis, surviving an assassination attempt, and advocating inter‑faith dialogue—until his death from Parkinson’s disease in April 2005.
