Milan, Italy. 2006. An energetic ten-year old boy loves soccer, video games and a recent invention - the internet.

But his greatest love is one that few around him share or understand: Jesus and His Presence in the Eucharist.  

Inspired by faith and his love of technology, he undertakes a mission to evangelize the digital world and on the way, becomes the Apostle of the Internet. This is the story of Blessed Carlo Acutis.

Rating Reason

Carlo Acutis’ story showcases the life and faith of a modern young Catholic who used technology to evangelize. It emphasizes themes of devotion, Eucharistic miracles, and friendship. Carlo Acutis’ faith influences his friends, even converting Gio, his best friend.

Some elements of intensity include the dramatized story of Tarcisius, the ‘boy martyr of the Eucharist.’ There is some light fighting and Tarcisius’ death is implied. Carlo himself goes to the hospital and, due to Leukemia, prepares for death. These elements are seen within a positive context and serve to bolster and increase people’s faith and trust in Jesus.
