Pray for me: Pope Francis’ story is a documentary that follows the life journey of Pope Francis, with a particular focus on his social and humanitarian work. The film portrays a man deeply devoted to the causes of the poor, the marginalised, and the forgotten: from his early years in Argentina to his role as a spiritual leader on the global stage. Blending archival footage, personal testimonies, and a thoughtful, ethical perspective, the documentary offers an intimate and timely portrait of one of the most influential figures of our time.
