I’ve bought this DVD at least 8 times. I gift it to acquaintances who are going through a rough patch.
When I was at the lowest point in my life, my grief therapy group watched this film, The Way, written by actor Emilio Estevez and starring his father, Martin Sheen. It inspired and motivated me to walk part of the ancient 500 mile long Camino Frances of the Camino de Santiago (100 km from Sarria to Santiago) And it changed my life.
An ancient philosopher was once asked by a student, “Teacher, What do you do to gain wisdom and clarity when you feel lost at some critical moment in your life?” The teacher responded with two words: Solvitur Ambulando (Latin for: it is solved by walking).
Something in me resonated to the theme of this film and I decided to step out of my comfort zone. I started researching, googling Camino de Santiago and preparing myself for the hike. I began walking daily, my diet improved, I dropped excess weight.
And three months later I was in beautiful Spain, with the sun shining and the birds singing, walking on the thousand year old pilgrimage route through hills and valleys, past ancient stone villages to Santiago de Compostela. I met pilgrims from all walks of life wishing their fellow travelers, “Buen Camino!”, some were devout, I even walked one day with a pair of Buddhist monks. Others were not at all religious; it proved to be life altering: the best small decision of my life, with the most far reaching consequences. Like a stone dropped into a still lake produces a series of concentric circles moving outward. A wonderfully healing experience. Gracias Emilio and Martin.

I walked the Camino because of this film.
An excellent story. After watching the film, I thought it sad that such a pilgrimage didn't actually exist...but it does! While the story was fictional the Camino de Santiago de Compestella pilgrimage is a real thing. How exciting. The next year I walked the 800 kilometer Camino and never felt so much alive. Watch the movie, then start your training for your own Camino experience!
