The Sports Film Festival taking place in the Italian city of Milán has debuted a new movie called, “John Paul II Talks About Sports,” which explores the current Pontiff’s fondness for sports.
The movie was shown as part of the inauguration of the festival and was produced by Mario Farneti and Massimo Lavena, with material provided by Vatican Television (CTV). It was shot mostly in the childhood home of Karol Wojtlya in Krakow, which has been converted into a museum that displays photos and objects related to the numerous sports activities in which the future pope participated, from skiing to canoeing.
