The project will highlight scripted short films from international communities along with snippets of a conversation between the director and the pontiff, who died last month.

Prior to his death earlier this month, the late Pope had been involved with the feature that is in development from Scholas Occurrentes.

Martin Scorsese will honor the late Pope Francis by producing “Aldeas – A New Story,” a feature-length documentary and worldwide cultural project developed by Scholas Occurrentes, the global educational movement founded by the Pope.
