About the Film
Recounted through in-depth interviews with the Pontiff's trusted advisor of 40 years, Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz - and blended with recently uncovered and never-before-seen archival footage of John Paul's early career and eventual ascendancy to the papacy, TESTIMONY is a revealing portrait of a man who touched the lives of billions, and changed history.
Lovingly narrated by Michael York, featuring music by Oscar-winning composer Vangelis, filmed in hitherto off-limits locations in the Vatican, and full of new and shocking revelations about the Pope. TESTIMONY is winning converts the world over thanks to massive press and media coverage of the film's premiere screening at the Vatican - attended by Pope Benedict, various heads of state, and thousands of multi-denominational spectators on October 16th, 2008.
Among the many amazing revelations in this ground-breaking documentary:
- Pope John Paul II was stabbed during a second failed assassination attempt that was kept secret by the Vatican...until now.
- Pope John Paul II liked to disguise himself and sneak out of the Vatican to mix with the people incognito.
- The Pontiff began his career as an actor, and had a great talent for Karaoke.
- His Holiness performed an exorcism.
The story of the Pontiff's life is told through rare archive footage, historical recreations, and key interviews with Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz - the Pope's right-hand man for over 40 years, who recently published a tell-all book that has sold over a million copies in Poland alone.
