A new Martin Scorsese film titled “Aldeas, the Final Dream of Pope Francis” is set to launch with a private screening at the Vatican on Tuesday, which marks one year since the pontiff’s death.

Scholas Occurrentes, a global Catholic educational movement founded by the late Pope Francis, has released some first-look images from the film that Scorsese and his team shot across Italy, Indonesia, the African country of Gambia and Vatican City. According to its synopsis, “Aldeas” features Pope Francis’ last, never-before-seen testimony, recorded shortly before his passing.
