highly recommended

Provides a behind-the-scenes look, with unprecedented access, into life inside the Vatican. With rare footage of secret archives, private chapels and papal quarters, the program explores the Vatican's long, powerful history, and the unique traditions and ceremonies that have survived for nearly 2000 years. Accounts from Vatican officiants, historians and devoted individuals who work closely with the Pope John Paul II provide privilieged insight into the inner workings of one of the richest wonders of the world. 60 minutes.

A big mistery discovered

This is an in-depth vision to all people who wants but can't get inside the walls of one of the most emblematic buildings and "treasure container" of our history. This is a great tv series collection.

Inside the Vatican

Good graphics. Loved the tape. I have seen the outside of the vatican and this was a way for me to see the inside of it.

One of the Best Produced Documentaries I Have Ever Seen!

Anyone who's ever wondered what life is like at the Vatican need look no further than this very well produced dvd. Told in a very organised manner looking at typical major events in the lives of a number of people, the director uses these to inform and educate the audience just what goes on at as well as the history of the capitol of the Catholic Church. Even the blemishes are not covered up as there is a very frank discussion about the sale of indulgences which was a major factor behind the Reformation movement, about bad popes, about the wrongful treatment of Galileo etc. Narrator Martin Sheen does a great job as well as he describes what goes on in the build up to a Beautification, an appointment of an archbishop, an appointment of a Swiss Guard, the life of the official photographer, the council which decides on sainthood etc.

In addition to very good content I was very impressed with the picture quality which is first class as well as the sound quality which comes in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound which is very rare for documentaries. This definitely enhanced my enjoyment of this dvd. This would be great viewing for RCIA's, cell groups, and other Christian study groups as a great way to find out what a "typical" day at the Vatican is about.

One of the best documentaries that I've ever seen and I highly recommend it!

A Unique View Inside the Vatican

"Inside the Vatican" is a must-see for anyone aspiring to travel to the Vatican. It gives the audience unique behind-the-scenes access as to how the Vatican operates on a daily basis, & why certain protocol is followed as it is there. It was an educational experience for my whole family--& a joy, especially, to share with my two young daughters. I teach Faith Formation at our parish & I plan on incorporating "Inside the Vatican" into my curriculum from now on.

fascinating and insightful

This documentary is typical of the high quality type of documentary we've come to expect from NatGeo. Inside The Vatican provides a rare and fascinating look into this church/state and the enormous amount of anonymous work that goes into making it function. This is the most inside look at the Vatican that I've ever seen.
