Overview
- The finale premiered Dec. 7 on Fox Nation and profiles Carlo Acutis, the Italian teen widely known as a “millennial saint.”
- Martin Scorsese serves as executive producer and narrator of the docudrama, which surveys notable figures from Catholic history.
- Francesca Scorsese acknowledged family influence in her hiring, saying, “I got this, obviously, because my dad was overseeing everything as the executive producer.”
- She said she was hesitant about working with Fox Nation because of its politics but proceeded because Fox was the only backer of the project.
- During production, she chose not to film Acutis’s displayed body, used a small amount of stock footage instead, and reported receiving few notes from her father until post-production.
