Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese will direct a documentary about Bill Clinton, the former U.S. president.

    The documentary promises to delve into the two-term Democratic president’s views on politics, history, culture and the world.

    “As a towering figure who remains a major voice on world issues, President Clinton continues to shape the political dialogue both here and around the world,” the director and producer said in a statement.

    HBO would not say when filming would start or when the documentary was slated to air.

    Clinton, 66, who was first elected president in 1992, has been popular with the public since he left office in January 2001.

    Clinton has kept a high profile* following his presidency through his foundation that aids global development.
