A modern saint for a digital generation.

The story of Carlo Acutis, the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint, becomes a lens into how faith travels online, inspiring Italian Canadians and young believers in Canada to reconnect with spirituality in an always-connected world.

God’s Influencer traces the life, faith, and impact of Carlo Acutis, a teenager whose devotion and tech-savvy approach to evangelism made him a symbol of modern Catholic identity. Rather than treating Carlo as a distant holy figure, the film stays grounded in what made him uniquely contemporary: a kid of the internet age who used digital tools to document miracles, share belief, and speak to people in the language of their everyday lives.

From Carlo’s personal story to the communities carrying his legacy forward, the documentary follows how his example is being taken up in Canada, especially among Italian Canadians and youth searching for meaning amid noise, isolation, and constant scrolling. Through intimate testimony and expert perspective, God’s Influencer explores the tension at the heart of modern faith, what happens when ancient tradition meets algorithm-driven life, and why Carlo’s message remains urgent: holiness isn’t trapped in the past. It can live right now, in the world we actually inhabit.
