Martin Scorsese's Documentary on Pope Francis Premieres at Vatican
Martin Scorsese's documentary 'Aldeas, The Final Dream of Pope Francis' is set to premiere at the Vatican, commemorating the first anniversary of Pope Francis's death. Co-directed by Scorsese, Johnny Shipley, and Clare Tavernor, the film includes the pope's last in-depth interview and explores the 'community cinema movement' initiated by Francis. The screening occurs amid tensions between the U.S. government and the papacy, following Pope Leo's criticism of U.S. and Israeli actions against Iran. President Trump responded with a controversial social media post, while Vice President JD Vance commented on the pope's theological statements.
