The First Millennial Saint: The Extraordinary Story of Carlo Acutis

How does an ordinary teenager who loved video games, computers, and the internet become one of the newest saints of the Catholic Church?

In this documentary, we explore the remarkable true story of Carlo Acutis, the first millennial canonized by the Catholic Church. Born in 1991, Carlo lived a life that looked surprisingly familiar to today’s generation.
