The Boy from Milan
Coming to Formed in April
Formed is to release the documentary movie "The Boy from Milan" on 2 April 2025 (3 April 2025 in Sydney). This release is the newest documentary within the Formed "Based on a True Saint" series. You will hear from three people who personally knew Carlo Acutis. People whose lives were transformed by his faith.
Antonia: his mother, who was drawn back to the Church by her son.
Fabrizio: his high school teacher, who learned from his student that holiness grows in everyday life.
Mercedes: his oncologist, who drew from Blessed Carlo’s unwavering faith during her own battle with cancer.
Discover the inspiring story of Carlo Acutis, the young boy from Milan on the path to sainthood. The sneaker-wearing, computer-loving "gamer saint" of our time. But beyond the headlines and hashtags, the real story of Carlo is something deeper, something the world desperately needs to hear. Known for his deep love of God, devotion to the Eucharist, and quiet acts of charity, Carlo’s life was a testament to everyday holiness.
Featuring personal stories from those who knew him in real life, this documentary goes beyond the headlines to reveal the heart of a boy who saw Jesus in everyone and never missed an opportunity to love. His simple yet profound faith continues to touch lives, proving that sainthood is for all of us.
Be inspired by Carlo’s true story and discover that holiness is possible in daily life.
Blessed Carlo’s story of abiding faith and profound love will encourage you to persevere in faith, renew hope in God’s promises, and love others as God calls them to love.
Blessed Carlo Acutis is to be canonised in The Vatican on Divine Mercy Sunday, 27 April 2025 at the Jubilee of Teenagers.
The Blessed Carlo Acutis Feast Day is October 12.
"To always be close to Jesus, that's my life plan."
