Martin Scorsese is producing a documentary featuring Pope Francis' final on-camera interview
Renowned Hollywood filmmaker Martin Scorsese is set to produce a new documentary that will feature the late Pope Francis' last on-camera interview.
The documentary, about a cinema program also named Aldeas, will chronicle the making of several short films that speak to Pope Francis' passion for community building and emphasis on creativity as "not only a means of expression but a path to hope and transformation," a media release stated. Aldeas Scholas Films was "inspired by the belief that 'it takes a whole village to educate a child,'" and works to make some of the "deepest calls" of Francis' papacy a reality, particularly the need for outreach to the peripheries and building unity in a time of division, the media release said. Indonesia, The Gambia, and Italy are among the countries set to participate in the project, and the short films made there will eventually premiere in newly established local cinemas, "serving as lasting hubs for cultural expression and education."
