Wednesday, May 13, 1981. In St. Peter's Square in Rome, thousands of faithful attend the weekly audience of John Paul II. At 5 p.m., the sovereign pontiff lends himself to the walkabout and blesses the assistance. Shots ring out and the pope collapses. It is 5:19 p.m. One of the two shooters manages to escape, the other is held back by force by a nun then tackled to the ground by a plainclothes policeman. He is Turkish and his name is Mehmet Ali Agça. Who had an interest in murdering this popular page? How was the attack organized?

With the participation of Franco Bucarelli, journalist; Bruno Bartoloni, journalist; Stanislaw Dziwisz, cardinal, former secretary to John Paul II; Renato Buzzonetti, John Paul II's personal physician; Arturo Mari, official photographer of John Paul II; Wlodzimierz Redzioch, witness to the attack; Lindano Marchionne, counterterrorism policeman; Ilario Martella, investigating judge.
