Two documentaries by Sam Katz’s Emmy-winning production company will capture Pope Francis’ visit to Philadelphia – and the months of behind-the-scenes preparation leading up to it.
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced Monday that it is commissioning Katz’s History Making Productions to create two documentaries. The first will feature the lead-up to Francis’ visit and the World Meeting of Families, an international Catholic conference being held in Philadelphia from Sept. 22 to 25. The second will focus on Francis’ two-day stay that Saturday and Sunday.
The goal is to have the documentaries available for purchase on DVD and digitally in time for the holidays, Katz said. Proceeds will go to the World Meeting of Families – Philadelphia 2015, a nonprofit created to plan the international gathering and the papal visit.
