The DOCUMENTARY
Port Macquarie, on Australia's east coast, had never seen an evangelist like Zac Young. People right across the city, from all walks of life, talk about the impact he had on their lives. He was only 19.
And then he was taken in a shark attack.
Crowds came together for his funeral, the largest the city has ever seen. People lined the beach, with hundreds and hundreds paddling out to form a circle in his honour. People gave their lives to Christ in the surf, people flocked to churches, and people were baptised at the beach. By all accounts, what unfolded was extraordinary.
​
Zac had only been a Christian for two years. Before this, he was, in his own words, drunk most weekends and a troublemaker at school. Nobody could have imagined who he was to become.
​
But God touched him and changed him. Once fully surrendered, truly strange and supernatural things began to unfold, not just for him, but also for those around him.
Inexplicably, three months before the attack, Zac began to prepare his friends and family, insisting that God had told him he was to die young. He committed his life and his death into God's hands. His faith was simple and clear: God only needs us to be obedient and he will bring people to salvation.
This is what he wrote in his diary, the day before he died.
"I, Zachariah Micah Young, am a passionate follower of Jesus Christ, and it is my mission to share the love of Jesus Christ in every major city around the world."
​
This documentary, then, is just the beginning. Not just a bold testimony to the transformation power of Jesus Christ, it is a message of love to people around the world, in these last days.
​
Now it's your turn to experience this love, and to pass it on.
The MOVEMENT
Zac clearly stated, on the day before the shark attack, his mission. It is the last entry in his diary.
​
I Zachariah Micah Young, am a passionate follower of Jesus Christ, and it's my mission to share the love of God in every major city around the world.
The movement, an evangelistic initiative called Love Thy Neighbour, is simply that: a way to share the love of Jesus with those around us.
​
And it's pretty simple.

Our world is full of 'lost boys'—boys and young men desperate to find purpose and meaning. The burdens of addiction, loneliness, anxiety, and depression weigh heavily on families and communities alike. This film will tell the amazing story of Zac, a lost boy battling these very challenges, until an unexpected transformation gave his life newfound meaning, purpose, and hope. His journey stands as a powerful testament to the impact of God's grace on those who are lost, broken, and barely holding on.
