Step behind the Vatican walls and into the heart of a saint. The Good Pope is a beautifully crafted biographical epic that chronicles the life of Angelo Roncalli, from his humble beginnings as a sharecropper’s son to his shocking election as Pope John XXIII.

Directed by Ricky Tognazzi, this 2003 masterpiece follows "The Good Pope" as he navigates the high-stakes diplomacy of World War II and the Cold War, eventually ascending to the Chair of St. Peter at an age when most expected him to be a mere "caretaker" pope. Instead, he shook the world by opening the windows of the Church to the modern age. The film masterfully balances the grand history of the Vatican with the simple, humorous, and deeply compassionate moments that defined his character—including his secret nighttime walks through Rome to visit the sick and the imprisoned.
