A Pope John Paul II lollipop. An Elvis Presley shower curtain. A Princess Diana teacup. These are just some of the countless pieces of memorabilia that these pop culture icons₂ most devoted fans collect and cherish but why? The Faithful₁s director, Annie Berman, explores the deep veneration and legacies of the Pope, the Princess, and the King. Over 20 years, Berman profiles these figures₂ biggest fans and makes numerous pilgrimages to Vatican City, Graceland, and Kensington Palace. As the years go by, the film itself becomes increasingly entwined with Berman₂s daily life and identity, much like how these officially-licensed knick-knacks define the fans she filmed.
