	Movies - Karol: A Man Who Became Pope

Karol: A Man Who Became Pope (pl: Karol - Człowiek, który został Papieżem, it: Karol, un uomo diventato Papa) is a 2005 film directed by Giacomo Battiato, and created as a Polish-Italian-French-Germany and Canadian joint cooperation project. Karol is a biography of Karol Wojtyła, later known as Pope John Paul II, beginning in 1939 when Karol was only 19 years old and ending at the conclave that made him the Pope.

The movie was supposed to premiere at the very beginning of April 2005 in the Vatican, but it was delayed due to the Pope's death. It was broadcasted for the first time by the Italian television station Rai Uno on the first day of the 2005 papal election. Although it was originally broadcast on television, it was also released on theater, which allowed the film to be shown in Poland.
