(The movie contains the interview in which he endorses same-sex civil unions.) With Pope Benedict XVI and Greta Thunberg. “An unprecedented look into the life of a pope—and not just any pope, but Pope Francis, whose compassionate and progressive approach is captured beautifully…Whether you are Catholic or not, you will be fascinated by this powerful portrait of a truly historic figure.” –Hollywood Reporter.
