Previously screened at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center in 2018 with director Wim Wenders in attendance for questions, this documentary carries a new significance as an archive of Pope Francis' life, both in terms of his papacy and his approach to service. Shot while both following Pope Francis observationally and in direct interviews, the film offers a unique facet for understanding the pontiff's approach to major global issues, including concerns for the poor, pressing environmental issues, and the need for peace.
