Denver, Colo. – EWTN is pleased to announce the release of a new documentary about Blessed Carlo Acutis, the first millennial to be beatified by the Catholic Church. Entitled Heaven Can’t Wait, the film explores the life and legacy of this extraordinary young man who died of leukemia at the age of 15.

The documentary, which was filmed on location in Italy, features interviews with Carlo’s family, friends, and fellow missionaries. It also includes never-before-seen footage of Carlo’s life and work. Through these interviews and archival footage, Heaven Can’t Wait paints a vivid portrait of a young man who was deeply devoted to God and to serving others.

Carlo Acutis was born in London, England, in 1991. He was raised in a devout Catholic family and from an early age, he showed a deep love for God and for the Eucharist. Carlo was also a gifted computer programmer and he used his skills to create websites and other online resources to help people learn about the Catholic faith.

In 2006, Carlo was diagnosed with leukemia. He died just a few months later, on October 12, 2006. Carlo’s death was a great loss to his family, friends, and the Catholic Church, but his legacy continues to inspire people around the world.

In 2020, Carlo Acutis was beatified by Pope Francis. He is now the patron saint of the internet and of young people.

Heaven Can’t Wait is a moving and inspiring film that tells the story of a young man who lived a life of faith, hope, and love. It is a film that will leave viewers with a lasting impression and with a renewed appreciation for the power of God’s grace.
