A chronicle of the first nine years of Pope Francis' pontificate, including trips to 53 countries, focusing on his most important issues - poverty, migration, environment, solidarity, and war - while also giving rare access to the public life of the pontifical.
Direction
Rosi's vérité approach catches Francis snapping at staff—unprecedented access.
Editing
Jarring cuts between Vatican opulence and refugee camps hit hard.
Production
53 countries in 80 minutes without feeling like a travel brochure.
Director
Gianfranco Rosi
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rosi spent four years embedded with Vatican press corps; Francis initially banned him twice for being 'too close.'
Released months before Francis' health decline, the film now reads as unintentional elegy to a transitional papacy—Benedict's shadow looms larger with time.
