While Call Me Francesco has been deemed the first film on the life of Pope Francis, there are many who claim that this is not the first one. A film titled Papa Francisco: The Pope Francis Story is also in the running to be labelled the first film on the life of Pope Francis.
The film, which stars Dario Grandinetti as Pope Francis, is based on the book, Pope Francis: Life and Revolution written by Elisabetta Pique.
The Beda Docampo Feijoo film was released first in Argentina this September.
