Karol Wojtyla's path to papacy is laid out in this episode of Kaleidoscope.

Beginning with a dramatic recounting of his election to the papacy, Mike Whorf traces Pope John Paul II's life and experiences growing up in Poland. "The Story of a Young Man" includes newsreel clips, audio footage of Adolf Hitler speeches, and a dramatic musical score.
