Famous director Martin Scorsese has shared details about his youth in a new Apple TV+ documentary series. As a teenager, he seriously considered becoming a priest after being moved by a religious experience at St. Patrick's Cathedral. He enrolled in a preparatory seminary but struggled with the changing world around him.

The emergence of rock 'n' roll music and his romantic interests in girls created conflicts with his religious studies. Eventually, the seminary asked his father to remove him due to his poor behavior. The five-part series will premiere on October 17 and includes interviews with many famous actors and directors.
