CANNES, France: Pope Francis will offer his thoughts to the camera in a new documentary by Oscar-nominated director Wim Wenders, its backers have announced at the Cannes film festival.

"A Man Of His Word" will see the Argentine pontiff respond to questions submitted from people around the world, with US production company Focus Features billing the film as "the first in which a Pope addresses the audience directly, discussing topics such as ecology, immigration, consumerism and social justice".
