In 2024, I was honoured to participate in a film made inside St Peter's Basilica, Rome at the request of the Late Pope Francis for his International Day of Childhood. The values of the Pope - compassion, humility, care for the vulnerable - were clearly expressed in this film. https://t.co/joZACKB8M3
