The Vatican Dicastery for Communications has produced a moving documentary on the pontificate of Pope Francis, released to mark the first anniversary of his Death.
Using archival footage and symbolic sequences, the documentary tells the story of the pontificate of ‘the Pope of mercy’ and ‘the Pope of the peripheries,’ from his election (March 13, 2013) to his death (April 21, 2015). Among the repeated themes are Pope Francis’ calls for peace, for hope and for unity, calls which are particularly evocative at this present time.
