Martin Scorsese to Produce Documentary Featuring Pope Francis’s Final Interview
Renowned filmmaker Martin Scorsese is set to produce a documentary titled “Aldeas – A New Story,” which will feature Pope Francis’s final on-camera interview before his passing on April 21, 2025. The documentary will explore the educational and cultural legacy of the late pontiff, focusing on his global initiative to unite youth through cinema.
A Tribute to Pope Francis’s Vision
The documentary is being produced by Aldeas Scholas Film in collaboration with Scorsese’s Sikelia Productions. It will highlight the work of Scholas Occurrentes, a non-profit organization founded by Pope Francis in 2013, which promotes cultural understanding and global peace through education and creativity. The film will follow young participants from Indonesia, Italy, and The Gambia as they use cinema to explore themes of human connection, identity, and social challenges.
Scorsese’s Perspective on the Project
Scorsese, known for his deep respect for spiritual storytelling, emphasized the power of cinema in fostering dialogue across cultures. He stated, “Now, more than ever, we need to talk to each other, listen across cultures. Cinema offers a bridge for understanding and preserving our diverse identities.”
Release and Global Impact
While the release date for the documentary has yet to be announced, its timing is significant, as the Vatican prepares for a conclave on May 7 to elect Pope Francis’s successor. The film is expected to serve as a powerful tribute to the late pontiff’s commitment to dialogue, empathy, and education
