Two Saintly Janson Films Acquired by Polish Broadcaster

Janson Media announced today that it has licensed the programs Padre Pio (1 x 60') and Xavier: Missionary and Saint (1 x 57') to Life Media International GmbH for broadcast on Polish television.

In the incredible documentary film of the same name, Padre Pio tells his story through his own writings, recalling various moments from his remarkable life, including how he lived with the stigmata for fifty years. Padre Pio is now known as Blessed Pio of Pietrelcina, as a result of his beatification on May 2nd, 1999, by Pope John Paul II.

Narrated by Academy Award-winner Liam Neeson, and filmed on location in the footsteps of the Jesuit missionary, Xavier features stunning scenery from Rome, Spain, Paris, India, China, and Japan as well as interviews with world-renowned scholars in the fields of history and theology.
