Pope Francis will appear in a new Netflix docu-series based on Sharing the Wisdom of Time, a book by Pope Francis that highlights the stories of elderly people from around the world.
The new series will feature profiles of 31 elderly people from five continents, filmed and produced by filmmakers under the age of 30. The young filmmakers will work under the direction of Fernando Meirelles, who directed “The Two Popes.”
Joellyn Cicciarelli, the president and publisher of Loyola Press, which originally published the book, said Pope Francis thought it was important that young people listen to the elderly and help tell their stories.
