My Highway to Heaven – Carlo Acutis
My Highway to Heaven - Carlo Acutis
The only official documentary endorsed by the Acutis family, that offers access to the short yet remarkable life of Carlo Acutis, the first millennial Saint

Featuring testimonies and exclusive contributions from Mons. Gianfranco Poma, his parish priest, the film traces how an ordinary teenager harnessed technology to spread the Christian faith worldwide. Carlo’s story resonates far beyond the Church.

At just fifteen, he succumbed to an aggressive form of leukemia, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, generosity and a digital archive of miracles that continues to inspire millions.

“A hot-air balloon, to rise higher, must shed its weight; so too the soul, to ascend to Heaven, must cast off even the smallest burdens—those venial sins.”

– Carlo Acutis
