From Universal Pictures Home Entertainment: Pope Francis - A Man of His Word

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Oct. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Catch a rare glimpse into the world of Pope Francis in the incredibly inspiring documentary Pope Francis - A Man of His Word, arriving on Blu-ray^TM, DVD, Digital and On Demand on December 4, 2018 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. The first-of-its-kind documentary takes viewers on a moving exploration with Pope Francis as he engages in conversation with a cross-section of humanity. In an era of deep distrust of politicians and people in power, when lies, corruption and alternative facts are the order of the day, Pope Francis - A Man of His Word show us the heart of a person who lives what he preaches and provides insightful commentary on the world around us.

Pope Francis - A Man of His Word is 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. Through a series of direct-to-camera interviews cut against exclusive footage from the Vatican's archives, Pope Francis engages the audience face-to-face and provides seeds of hope as he calls for peace.

Hailed as by critics as "heartfelt" (Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter), Pope Francis - A Man of His Word is co-written by three-time Academy Award^® nominee Wim Wenders (The Salt of the Earth) and David Rosier (The Salt of the Earth), and produced by Wenders, Rosier, Samanta Gandolfi Branca (The World's Smallest Army), Alessandro Lo Monaco (The World's Smallest Army), and Andrea Gambetta (The World's Smallest Army).
