(Washington) Newt and Callista Gingrich, in partnership with Citizens United
Productions and Peace River Company, premiered their new documentary, Nine Days
that Changed the World, in Krakow, Warsaw and Rome.
The film will premiere at the Lagiewniki Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Krakow
(June 8), at the Royal Castle in Warsaw (June 9), and finally at the Pontifical
North American College in Rome (June 12).
Nine Days that Changed the World explores Pope John Paul II's historic nine-day
pilgrimage to Poland in June of 1979, which created a revolution of conscience
that transformed Poland and fundamentally reshaped the spiritual and political
landscape of the 20th Century.
Newt and Callista Gingrich, along with a Polish, American, and Italian cast,
explore what transpired during these nine days that moved the Polish people
to renew their hearts, reclaim their courage, and free themselves from the shackles
of Communism.
Millions of Poles, almost one third of the nation, turned out to see the Holy
Father in person, while the rest of the country followed his pilgrimage on television
and radio. Within sixteen months, Solidarity became the first officially recognized
free trade union in the Communist bloc, with over 10 million members. The momentum
of this nine-day visit would eventually lead to the fall of the Berlin Wall
in November of 1989 and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Featuring exclusive interviews with George Weigel, Michael Novak, John O'Sullivan,
Jerzy Kluger, Father Adam Boniecki, Father Leon Knabit, Monsignor Jaroslaw Cielecki,
Father Jan Andrzej Kloczowski, Father Thomas D. Williams, Father Wojciech Giertych,
President Lech Walesa, President Vaclav Havel, Polish Free Trade Union Leaders
Krzysztof Wyszkowski and Anna Walentynowicz, Former Director of Central Intelligence
James Woolsey, and Secretary Jim Nicholson.
Nine Days that Changed the World is a story of human liberation, revealing
the extraordinary power of Pope John Paul II's worldwide message of freedom
through faith.
