Martin Scorsese has made a documentary with the late Pope Francis that will feature conversations between the pontiff and Scorsese, including what the film-makers say was the pope’s final in-depth on-camera interview. Aldeas – A New Story will detail the work of Scholas Occurrentes, a non-profit, international organisation founded by the pope in 2013 to promote what it termed “Culture of Encounter” among youth.
Part of that organisation’s work has included film-making, under the Aldeas initiative. The documentary will show young people in Indonesia, Gambia and Italy taking part in the program and making short films.
