Experiencing Interruptions?

The Pope Francis Effect

Clare, an ambitious but jaded student journalist, is assigned to cover the historical Papal Visit in the Philippines. The problem is she hates any person called 'father' or even 'Holy Father' because of her deep brokenness with her dad who abandoned her when she was only 10 years old. Her father happens to be the former Philippine ambassador to the Vatican and would be the perfect lead for her story. Through the fatherly example of Pope Francis, Clare is inspired to meet with her father for an exclusive interview and reconcile with him after 10 years of brokenness and unforgiveness.
