Argentina's Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church in March 2013, making him Pope Francis.
"Despite being Pope Francis, he’s still close to the people around him and wants to be a man of the people," Afineevsky told Fox News. "That’s the Jesuit in him, the Jesuit education, the Jesuit belief. He said to me when I started this movie, ‘Evgeny, I don’t want to be an actor. I rather go to the corners of the world and help people than be in front of the camera.’ And that’s him. That’s the amazing person I tried to bring into this film. We can all learn something good from him." During filming, Afineevsky witnessed Francis’s modest life in Casa Santa Maria, the Vatican City guesthouse, as opposed to the more lavish papal apartments in the Apostolic Palace.More Related News
