x 50' pieces for broadcast or cable television.
U.S. rights are also available, and the title will have very strong sell-through and collector-edition appeal to general audience Catholics and
non-Catholics alike, as well as strong potential with predominantly Catholic
U.S. Hispanics (35+ million)..
This title holds mass appeal in Catholic countries (there are
2.1 billion Catholics in the world).
Available for theatrical, DVD, television, and all digital distribution.
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.
