What is the plot of 'In Viaggio: The Travels of Pope Francis'

The documentary, 'In Viaggio: The Travels of Pope Francis' is a decade-long chronicle of the head of the Catholic Church in Vatican. The film covers the first nine years of Pope Francis' pontificate, during which he visited 53 countries to address issues such as poverty, migration, environment, solidarity, and war.

The documentary mainly consists of archival footage and provides rare access to the public life of the Pope, not only from the protected surroundings of a pulpit but also from the more open and democratic streets and public areas. Through a combination of footage of the Pope's travels, Rosi's personal shots, recent historical events, and the current state of the world, the film creates a dialogue that sheds light on the Pope's message and his efforts to make a difference in the world.
