Stories of a Generation, the new Netflix series, is something rather remarkable: a dialogue between generations, a series of interviews with 18 over-70s conducted by young filmmakers under 30. One of the oldies is Pope Francis, who has called for the young and the old to talk to each other more. The series is based on his book, Sharing the Wisdom of Time. He agreed to take part on the basis he would be one contributor among many; his observations, prompted by questions from a fellow Jesuit, Fr Antonio Spadaro, are interspersed throughout the four programmes arranged around the themes of love, dreams, work and struggle. But it’s not a hierarchical project. And while there are some big names among the interviewees – Martin Scorsese and Jane Goodall – all of them are allowed to speak for themselves. The effect of this quiet insight into individual lives is extraordinarily moving.
