Get to know more about Pope Francis and discover the life that shaped him in a documentary titled “Francis: The People’s Pope,” which airs this Sunday (January 4) on ABS-CBN Sunday’s Best. Through unedited testimonies, hear from those who know him best and lived with Pope Francis.
The documentary also presents interviews of people who have been inspired and given hope by the Pope.
