Martin Scorsese documentary on Pope Francis to premiere at Vatican

Tuesday, 21 April 2026, 14:09 · 1 min read

A documentary about the late Pope Francis, co-directed by Martin Scorsese, is set to have its world premiere in Vatican City as part of events marking the first anniversary of the pontiff's death. Titled Aldeas, The Final Dream of Pope Francis, the film includes what is described as Francis's last in-depth on-camera interview and explores Scholas Occurrentes (an international education and social-integration organisation Francis founded in Argentina in 2001) and its community cinema movement. The premiere arrives amid heightened tensions between the United States government and the Catholic Church, following public clashes between US officials and the current Pope Leo over comments relating to US and Israeli actions in Iran.
