Before he became Pope, Karol Wojtyla’s life was a vigorous search for love and freedom.
His transformational journey led him to the theatre, to profound experiences of love, friendship and loyalty, to scholarship, to the Catholic priesthood.
And finally, it led him to Rome and the Chair of St. Peter. Karol’s heroic, true story, based on Gian Franco Svidercoschi’s book, Stories of Karol: The Unknown Life of John Paul II , comes to television in “A Man Who Became Pope,” a four-hour movie event presented by Faith & Values Media, premiering on Hallmark Channel Monday, August 15 (8/7 c).
Filmed on location in Krakow, Poland and Vatican City, the film features an international cast including Piotr Adamczyk as Karol Wojtyla; Malgorzata Bela as Hania, the woman Karol cared deeply for; Matt Craven as Nazi General Hans Frank; and Raul Bova as Father Tomasz Zaleski, Karol’s close childhood friend and a martyr to the Nazis. Giacomo Battiato directed the film and it was produced by Pietro Valsecchi.
