catholicphilly.com :

A new film on the life of Blessed Carlo Acutis will be shown in theaters on April 27-29.

 

The documentary “Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality” features Catholic leaders, young adults and even the parents of Blessed Carlo reflecting on his life and legacy of faith.

 

He will be canonized the first saint of the millennial generation by Pope Francis on April 27 in Rome – the date that the film premieres in the United States.

 

Carlo Acutis was an Italian teenager who built websites to spread devotion through information about eucharistic miracles and approved Marian apparitions. He died of leukemia at age 15 in 2006, and was beatified by Pope Francis in 2020.

 

The film is presented by Castletown Media, Wahl St. Productions and Fathom Entertainment in association with the National Eucharistic Congress and the McGrath Institute at the University of Notre Dame.

 

Almost 1,000 theaters will screen the film for three days, and youth groups and young adults are encouraged to view it, according to promotional materials.
