Filmed over a historic year, new series Inside The Vatican gives viewers unprecedented access to the inner workings of one of the most important places in the Christian world. From Pope Francis and some of his highest ranking officials to the choristers of the Sistine Chapel and the papal gardener, the series gives a unique insight into the lives of those who live and work in this independent City State. Filmed during Pope Francis’ fifth year in office, the series also charts a time of change as he introduces reforms, shakes up the clerical establishment and deals with the fallout of a sex abuse scandal that erupts just as the Pope embarks on a historic visit to Ireland.
