Brian Dennehy Narrates the Via Papale

The "Via Papale - the Lost Road of the Popes" is a documentary I shot in Rome, Italy, a couple years back. It's finally making it to theaters but I have no details on where or when. My TU and GoNomad audience will be the first to know when I do find out. The doc is narrated by Emmy-nominated and Tony award winner, actor Brian Dennehy. Here's a little summary of the full feature story:

Beginning with a city in ruin, the Pope under arrest, and Catholicism under seige, Lost Road of the Popes is the untold story of the "lost" road on which 16th century Rome and its Church made the most profound urban and religious comeback in history.

In little more than a lifetime, fueled by their faith, wealth and mission, the story follows the lives of six powerful Popes and their family dynasties and how they take on the task of first rebuilding, then glorifying, the new Rome. They have separate agendas, separate allegiances, and separate fortunes, but one thing in common: the need to build their legacies at Romes most visible, important address: along the road of the Popes and route of Papal processions, known as the Via Papale.

The Via Papale unfolds the miracle of this remarkable renaissance. How Rome and its Papal rulers not only survived, but were inspired by a Holy road to create the magnificent monuments, churches, art and architecture that defines the city's skyline today. And why that once powerful road has been forgotten.
