Pope Francis, the leader of the world’s more than 1 billion Catholic just landed in Nairobi, Kenya for a 3 day visit. By this making it his 1^st African country to visit. Many of the believers have their eyes set on the screens (those who can’t make it to see him) to see as he goes around to minister.

As pope is around or at least before he leaves you should watch the movie Francis: Pray For Me (2015). The movie is based on the book “Pope Francis: Life and Revolution” by Elisabetta pique a close friend of the pope and a correspondent in Italy and the Vatican for La Nacion, Argentina’s main newspaper since 1999.

The movie brings us back far back in Buenos Aires when Pope Francis was a teenager and quietly discovered his religious calling; little did he know that this was his first step that would eventually lead him to the Vatican.

The movie then takes on the perspective of young Spanish journalist Ana who met Jorge Mario Bergoglio at the papal conclave of 2005.

It is here that they started a friendship that would be imbued with same warmth, good mood and wisdom with which the future pope will astonish both believers and non-believers.

Through Ana’s eyes we follow a long, hard and touching story of Jorge Bergoglio. Father Jorge, as he always wished to be called, used his position as the archbishop of Buenos Aires as means to challenge the corruption and abuse of the government dictatorship.

Ana was there to see his toughest battles when he gave voice to those that had none, victims of prostitution, slavery, drug trafficking within shanty towns.The story comes to a full circle at the conclave of 2013 when a Jesuit priest coming from South America is elected on the fifth papal ballot as Pope. 

The son of humble Italian immigrants, he chooses Francis as his Papal name partially in honor of his Grandmother for she impressed upon him the biblical values of Saint Francis when he was a young boy.

The movie is also titled Papa Francisco: The Pope Francis Story.

Watch the movie Francis: Pray For Me (2015) to get to know Pope who fearlessly fought against poverty and corruption amidst overwhelming odds.
