Amid
the Turbulence and violence of the 20th Century, one man stood for the
timelessness of truth...
The
twentieth century was a tumultuous one, seeing the world
wrenched from one extreme to another, from the rule of monarchy to the
fascist
and communist dictatorships that sprang up in the wake of World War I;
from the
violent persecution of innocents under repressive regimes to the
anti-establishment violence of terrorism and guerilla warfare. Deaths skyrocketed as birth rates
plummeted. And as the storm of ideology,
hatred, and confusion reached its peak, a gentle and wise leader took
the helm
to steer the Catholic Church would confront the complexities of the
modern
world. In this beautifully produced
film, journey into the past of both Italy and the world, in the
midst
of wars and continuous upheavals. Actor Fabrizio Gifuni gives a powerful and
sensitive performance as Pope Paul VI.
Covering fifty years of history that changed the Catholic Church
and the
world, Paul VI: The Pope in the Tempest
is a story that draws its lessons and emotional resonance from history
itself,
dramatically mixing stunning reconstructions and real, historical film
footage.

- Documentary on Pope Paul VI with
historian James Hitchcock
and Fr. Joseph Fessio, SJ
