Screened episode(s) : 2 & 3
Format : 6 x 54min

Poetically and subtly personal, The Vatican tells the stories of people who have loyally served the Roman Catholic church their whole lives. From high-ranking cardinals to local servants of God. From powerful untouchables to outcasts of the organization. A captivating investigation into the pinnacle of Catholicism, and how incessant scandals and an ever-changing society have rocked its foundations and weakened its power.
