About

Wim Wenders follows Pope Francis as he speaks about peace, social justice, migration, ecology, poverty, death and family, alongside scenes from his public life.

Wim Wenders directs this documentary about Pope Francis, the 266th pope and sovereign of Vatican City State. The film shows Francis speaking directly into the camera as he addresses questions from around the world on ecology, immigration, consumerism, social justice, poverty, death and the role of family, and it follows his efforts for reform in the Catholic Church. His direct speech is combined with documentary footage of his travels and public appearances, including speeches at the United Nations and the US Congress, as well as visits to prisons and hospitals. Pope Francis appears as himself; the cast also includes Ignazio Oliva as Francis of Assisi, Sister María Eufemia Goycoechea, Joe Biden, Evo Morales and Paul Ryan as themselves, and Daniele De Angelis and Carlo Falconetti as friars.
