Vatican releases \u2018Leo from Chicago\u2019 biopic The Vatican has officially released the documentary \u201cLeo from Chicago\u201d about the life of Pope Leo XIV in the United States, coinciding with the sixth month of the pontificate of the first American and Peruvian pope in the history of the Catholic Church. The documentary premiered Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. Rome time and was screened at the Vatican Film Library for journalists accredited to the Holy See Press Office. At 6 p.m. Rome time it was published on the Vatican News YouTube channels in English, Italian, and Spanish, according to a statement from the Dicastery for Communication. The documentary was produced by the Dicastery for Communication in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Apostolado El Sembrador Nueva Evangelizaci\u00f3n (The Sower New Evangelization Apostolate.) The project was led by journalists Deborah Castellano Lubov, Salvatore Cernuzio, and Felipe Herrera-Espaliat, with editing by Jaime Vizca\u00edno Haro. It shows various locations, including the Dolton neighborhood in suburban Chicago where the pope lived with his family, and features the memories and stories of the Holy Father\u2019s brothers, Louis Martin and John Prevost. Also featured are the offices, schools, and parishes run by the Augustinians, the Catholic Theological Union study center, and places frequented by Robert Prevost, such as Aurelio\u2019s Pizza and Rate Field, the White Sox baseball stadium. The overview includes scenes from Villanova University near Philadelphia and Port Charlotte, Florida, where the pope\u2019s older brother lives. The documentary features some 30 testimonies from people who knew Leo XIV in his childhood and youth; for example, when he marched in Washington, D.C., to support the pro-life cause. \u201cLeo from Chicago\u201d is the documentary that follows \u201cLeo from Peru,\u201d released in June, about the pope\u2019s years in the South American country.
