The Jewish Cardinal

The Jewish Cardinal centers on Jean-Marie Lustiger, the son of Polish-Jewish immigrants. Even after converting to Catholicism at a young age, he maintained his Jewish identity, which led to a complex journey within the Church. Lustiger's rise to Archbishop of Paris under Pope John Paul II highlights the duality of his identity as both a Catholic and a Jew.

The film delves into Lustiger's role as a mediator when Carmelite nuns attempt to establish a convent at Auschwitz. This situation forces him to confront the divisions between the Jewish and Catholic communities. With a runtime of 96 minutes, the film presents a thought-provoking narrative based on true events, resonating with those interested in religious history and personal identity.
