Gianfranco Rosi’s documentary shifts the focus from institutional triumph to the periphery, using the Pope’s travels to highlight systemic inequality and the human cost of global instability. The film's main strength is its refusal to maintain a Western-centric viewpoint, centering the voices of those in the Global South. While visually and culturally expansive, it remains relatively silent on specific identity-based representations, such as LGBTQ+ identities or explicit gender subversion.
