CNN: 'Francesco' presents a dutiful look at Pope Francis during a time of crises
Provided extensive access to Pope Francis, "Francesco" is essentially a valentine to his progressive policies and the role he has played in spurring the Catholic Church to address major crises, including the abuse scandal within. There are few revelations in this feature-length documentary, arriving stateside via new streaming service Discovery+ in advance of Easter.
Director Evgeny Afineevsky takes viewers through a series of issues and how the Pope has addressed and called attention to them in recent years, from climate change to the related refugee crisis, from Covid-19 to efforts to promote Middle East and acknowledging the Armenian genocide.
"The cries of the Earth and the cries of the poor cannot go on," Pope Francis says, later noting, "We have failed to care for the Earth, our garden home."
