We want God!
I loved this film-- loved it, LOVED IT. Pope John Paul II was able to remind millions of Polish people that the source of their freedom is God, even under the most oppressive government. I loved the interviews from people who were there, who heard the pope speak, and who saw how an entire nation went from having their heads down to pride in culture and optimism that Truth will bring about freedom. The footage of the crowds of MILLIONS was amazing. Oh to have been part of those gatherings.It sent chills up my spine this summer when the Democrat party took God out of their platform at the convention and then, in a very bizzare vote, put the name of God back in. Why would Americans want to do to themselves what the Soviet Union did to Poland? We need to learn the lessons of Poland's history and never allow this to happen to us.Thank you Gingrich productions for this amazing film.

Affirms worldwide strength of Catholic Church outside the US where it has been so damaged.
Movie is very inspiring to me, a Protestant, re-affirming my hope and belief that the great church of my Catholic brothers and sisters is alive and well and strong in the world outside of here in the USA where it has been so seriously damaged by the priests who have assaulted children.

"No one did better than our beloved Lolek"
The headline is the words of Jerzy Kluger, John Paul's friend from childhood, at the end of this documentary. He said he knew of none like Karol Wojtyla. Reflecting on leaders of countries he observed in his lifetime he said: "No one did better than our beloved Lolek."This film is inspiring. I pray it may inspire viewers to take a lesson from John Paul and the heroic people of Poland and change the culture of the USA. WE ARE NOT WHO THEY SAY WE ARE! We are created in the image of God and we deserve dignity.Once religious freedom goes, we go neo-communist.

Love, Truth and One Man Inspiringly Stirred the World to Change!
An intense recounting of the true but little known story of how Pope John Paul II, beginning with a nine-day pilgrimage, with courage and conviction, love and the gospel message, confronted the evil that plagued his native Poland for decades under the form of Marxist Communism.His method was simply to tell the Polish people and the world the truth about their Human Personhood and their God-given status as children of God.Inspiring! It is real, well done and well worth it! A wealth of things to learn!

Nine Days That Changed the World
I shows what can happen when pressure is to brought to bear where needed. It is a shame that it took so long to defeat a government which is at the bottom of the cesspool. Corruption shown at it finest. Magnificent example of how the Pope and Church works to right wrongs. Nothing changes overnight, but with the correct people at the right time anything is possible. Great film.

I'm so glad I was able to acquire a copy of this ...
This is a tremendously moving true account of one of the (many) marvelous things Saint Pope John Paul II did. This recounts the key role he played in bringing down the Iron Curtain. I'm so glad I was able to acquire a copy of this DVD.
