A documentary on the life of Blessed Father Jerzy Popieluszko will air Sunday and Monday in various cities of the United States. The documentary is titled “Messenger of the Truth.”
Father Popieluszko was the chaplain of Poland’s Solidarity movement. He died a martyr and is expected to be canonized soon.
The website features the full list of times and dates when the documentary will be airing: http://www.messengerofthetruth.com/ on PBS stations, via public television’s WORLD channels.
Martin Sheen is the narrator of “Messenger of the Truth,” which chronicles Father Popieluszko’s opposition to Poland’s oppressive Communist leaders, who harassed, arrested, threatened, imprisoned and, eventually, murdered him for speaking the truth in a country full of propaganda, oppression and social injustice.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York said it is “a must-see documentary for all who believe in the rights of religious liberty, the dignity of the human person, and those who are lovers of freedom and defenders of the truth.”
