Go behind the doors of The Vatican and explore the life, leadership and legacy of Pope Francis as he takes on some of the most pressing issues of the 21st century. With intimate access, Oscar-nominated director Evgeny Afineevsky (Winter on Fire) breaks away from a traditional portrait to focus on the Argentinian-born pope’s compassionate approach and progressive stance on climate change, immigration, LGBTQ support, economic equality, religious tolerance and more. Francesco showcases a voice of morality that serves as a powerful counterbalance to the rise in reactionary politics around the world.

Featuring a post-film Q&A with director Evgeny Afineevsky, José Ramos Horta (Nobel Prize laureate and former President of Timor-Leste) and Rev. James Martin, S.J (Editor-at-Large, America Media), moderated by Kerry Kennedy (Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights).
