First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

The documentary "Carlo Acutis: The Young Saint" premiered at the Vatican Film Library on Sept. 29. The film includes home videos and photos of Acutis' pilgrimages to Rome, Milan, and Fátima.

The release marks the 20th anniversary of Acutis' death from leukemia in 2006. The documentary is scheduled to play in Italian theaters from Oct. 15–21, followed by a premiere in Europe and a North American release in February 2027.

Antonia Salzano Acutis, the mother of the saint, attended the screening. She told EWTN News that her son's legacy reminds people that God exists in a world where technology is often idolized.
