Papa Wojtyla
A three-part series marking the tenth anniversary of the election of Pope John Paul II. 3: Christ said 'Go to all the nations...'
It is perhaps Karol Wojtyla 's greatest departure from papal tradition that he has adopted the role of 'pilgrim pope', travelling, so far, to 77 countries. The third film in the series goes with him on his 37th international pilgrimage - to Uruguay,
Bolivia and Paraguay, where Wojtyla must meet General Alfredo Stroessner , the world's longest-surviving dictator, who, after the Second World War, sheltered many of the Nazi criminals who desecrated Wojtyla's homeland.
