The meeting between the Pope and the ten selected young adults took place in June 2022 in Pigneto, one of the most alternative neighborhoods in Rome.
Star+ confirmed that “Amen. Francis responds”, will arrive in Latin America on April 5. The special, directed by Jordi Evole and Marius Sanchezfocuses on the meeting that the current leader of the Catholic Church has with ten young people of different ages and backgrounds, with very different lives and experiences.
This is an exceptional and exclusive moment never before recorded by a camera: a close and honest conversation between one of the most influential people in the world and ten Spanish-speaking young adults between the ages of 20 and 25.
Outside the walls of the Vatican, the Pope addresses in his talk with these young people issues such as migration, feminism, the role of women in the Church, abortion, loss of faith, gender identity and sexual orientation, abuses in the Church, racism, or bullying, among others.
The meeting between the Pope and the ten selected young adults took place in June 2022 in Pigneto, one of the most alternative neighborhoods in Rome. The Pope speaks without reservation and the result of this exceptional meeting is an intense and dynamic dialogue based on empathy, curiosity, respect and mutual learning.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Pope Francis said: “I learned a lot from you in this pastoral meeting. I thank you for the good you have done me.”
For Évole and Sánchez, directors of the special, this work has been “a unique opportunity to bring together two worlds that normally do not touch, to make one of the most influential people in the world dialogue with a group of young adults whose lives sometimes collide directly with the postulates of the Church. And it has been an act of great generosity, both on the part of Pope Francis and on the part of the 10 young people”.
“That Pope Francis sits down to dialogue with young adults who are on the periphery of the Catholic Church with this honesty and closeness gives enormous value to this special. It was a unique meeting and we are very proud to be able to discover it to the world,” said Sofía Fábregas, vice president of production for Disney+ in Spain.
