ANDY GARCIA TO HOST DOCU, ON SAINT JOHN PAUL II ON SELECT PBS STATION. IT WILL NOT AIR IN LOS ANGELES OR NEW YORK.

-- A new documentary on St. John Paul II and his relationship with North and South America will screen this month on PBS-affiliated stations and EWTN, the international Catholic network, helping to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the pope's death on April 2, 2005. The film was produced by the Knights of Columbus.
"John Paul II in America: Uniting a Continent" explores the indelible mark left on the Western Hemisphere by the papacy of John Paul II. It will be shown on PBS stations nationwide beginning on Good Friday, April 3, and will be available throughout a large portion of the U.S. later in the month on CatholicTV of Boston and EWTN.
St. John Paul presented an understanding of a "united American continent" under the patronage of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and his travels as pope from Argentina to Alaska — 22 journeys in all — generated massive crowds, helped form an entire generation of Catholics, and played a part in shaping history.
Viewers will be both intrigued and moved by the documentary's framework for understanding one of the giant figures of modern times within the context of the American continent.
Narrated by actor Andy Garcia, the film features rare archival footage and analyses from leading Catholic figures, including Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley of Boston, Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson, John Paul II biographer George Weigel and former Vatican spokesman Joaquín Navarro-Valls.
"John Paul II brought a great renewal of confidence, excitement and joy to Christian life that was manifested in such events as the canonization of St. Juan Diego in Mexico City and the World Youth Days in Buenos Aires, Denver and Toronto," said Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. "He also issued a renewed call for human dignity, the gospel of life, respect for indigenous people, and a commitment to the poor throughout Latin America and North America."

POPCORN STORIES- ANDY GARCIA!

The Untouchable star stopped by, at a now deceased, Santa Monica movie palace on Wilshire Bl., when he saw his first directorial debut- The Lost City, on sale at the concession stand.

That's when Terry Benedict strolled up to the cashier and asked to see the DVD. He examined it for a moment, when the clerk saw a customer coming up to them. Garcia said that it's cool, he won't leave with the DVD and then clerk became worried.

So, the cashier asked for the movie back and that he would sell it to him, after he finished with next customer.

The next customer was becoming very irate, that Jon Bubber was taking his time. After the clerk finished with that A-hole customer, the clerk returned and gave the film disc, back to the soon-to-be two time Lucky Luciano.

It was then that the actor revealed, that his production of the hit art house flick- was so low budget that that neither, he nor his cast and crew received a copy of their own. Next, the too handsome star, plucked down his credit card- right then and there and purchased the DVD.

Afterwards, the great thespian took his film and quickly left the theatre. The clerk then told Data Hard, that a number of The Lost City's crew people had been in the area recently to buy it, confirming Garcia's statements and the clerk didn't even know- that the man he was speaking was the Internal Affairs co-star and hoped that he didn't offend him with the DVD bit (it was company policy.)
