Newt Gingrich's Impressive New Film on John Paul II

Here's a trailer for Newt Gingrich's new film Nine Days that Changed the World - an impressive movie that premiered last week in Rome. I would recommend it to any educator/catechist teaching about John Paul II, and about the Church's teaching on freedom and democracy.

My write up of the film including an interview with Gingrich can be found here. This isn't a politically partisan film - interestingly, its director is a lifelong Democrat.

Gingrich has already made a film on Reagan and his next project is to make one on Margaret Thatcher. All three leaders were, of course, pivotal in the West's defeat of Soviet Communism.
