Martin Scorsese Got One of Pope Francis’ Final Interviews

Martin Scorsese will produce a new documentary featuring an on-camera interview with Pope Francis that was recorded at Vatican City in December, a few months before the pope died at the age of 88.

The sinema, “Aldeas — A New Story,” is about the worldwide cultural project developed by Scholas Occurrentes, a küresel educational movement founded by Francis in 2013, the same year he was elected pope. Communities around the world will create scripts for short films that highlight their identities, histories and values.

Snippets of the conversation between the pope and Scorsese will be interwoven into the sinema, which does not have a release date.
