On March 13, 2013, the world was introduced to Pope Francis. He was the first Pope from the Americas, the first Jesuit, and the first to take the name Francis. Within days, he had captured the hearts of the world through his gestures of humility and care for the common man. Yet he remained largely unknown. The personality, passion, and extraordinary faith of the new Pope is unveiled here.

A rare co-production with the Vatican. Pope Francis' ideas and his message are central to this documentary, which sets out to present his work of reform and his answers to today's global questions about death, social justice, immigration, ecology, wealth inequality, materialism, and the role of the family.
