Papa Francesco. La Storia Jorge Bergoglio

The story of Jorge Mario Bergoglio before he became Pope Francis. His childhood spent playing football in the streets of the Flores neighborhood in Buenos Aires, his deep bond with Grandmother Rosa, his studies in chemistry, and the shattered dream of his mother Regina, who had imagined him becoming a doctor. This is the story of the future Pope Francis, who was ordained a priest three days before his 33rd birthday and chose to become a “shepherd of souls.” A journey into Bergoglio’s life, suspended between the Argentina marked by the tragedy of the desaparecidos and the vibrant new Rome of his pontificate. With him, the revolution has already reached the heart. Filmed between Argentina and Rome, the documentary retraces the life of a man destined to become pope.
