In a country rocked by scandal after scandal within the Catholic Church, this visit was always going to be a contentious one. This documentary goes behind the scenes with those tasked with making the Papal Visit a success, against all the odds. Through the eyes of the clergy, the event managers, the volunteers and the Police, experience the planning, the resistance, the obstacles and emotions associated with this momentous Papal visit. The Visit is a unique take on the Pope Francis's trip to Ireland, from the inside out, it is not a religious programme it is an observational look at how this ambitious event was realised, and with the team up against it in the weeks leading up to the visit this documentary captures both the sense of anticipation and trepidation as D-day draws near.
