Pope Joan

“Pope Joan,” directed by Sönke Wortmann, is a historical drama that explores the legendary tale of a woman who defies the strictures of her time by disguising herself as a man to rise through the ecclesiastical ranks of the Catholic Church. Set in the turbulent 9th century, the film delves into themes of faith, gender, and power, as it follows Joan’s extraordinary journey and the challenges she faces in her quest for knowledge and influence.
