The Awaiting (2015)

On September 21, 2014 Pope Francis chose Albania for his first European visit to "a country that has long suffered the ideologies of the past". His voyage from Rome to Tirana lasts 50 years. A true dissection of the communist dictatorship and its war waged against freedom of thought and belief, the documentary makes use of historical footage juxtaposed to present day shootings, to tell a unique page of history of one of the only atheist country in the world through the narration of two protagonists: a Franciscan priest (who spent most of his life in prison) and a Cathedral (that became a sports palace.)
