Presenting: ‘Francesco – Inspiring Hope’ (1hr 56min)
Following the last club meeting where we showed the Jesuit-related 1973 classic The Exorcist, the film club continues with an excellent papal documentary.
‘Francesco - Inspiring Hope’ is the 2020 headline-making Pope Francis documentary from Oscar-nominated filmmaker, Evgeny Afineevsky. The making of this ground breaking film granted unprecedented access to His Holiness, providing an intimate look at a global leader who approaches challenging and complex issues including: climate change, migration and refugees, women’s empowerment, sexual abuse, the global pandemic, and many others.
The director, who achieved Oscar and Emmy nominations for his 2016 documentary, Winter on Fire – Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom, will be joining us and will participate in a Q&A after the film.
With a Covid-limited attendance, please register to attend by emailing David Hurst (the event organiser) at dthurst52@gmail.com.
We look forward to welcoming you!
The team at St Beuno's have created this retreat for participants to reflect on Pope Leo XIV's statement: "We want to be a synodal church, walking and always seeking peace, charity, closeness, especially to those who are suffering."
