The Way – Camino de Santiago Video Download

September 17, 2011 in About, Video Downloads

The Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain is one of the world’s most popular Pilgrimages.

Filmmaker Mark Shea wished to explore the spiritual affect the Camino (Way of St. James) has on pilgrims, by walking the French Way alone and documenting his own personal experiences.

The resulting film is an honest and joyous portrayal of the transformative nature of this ancient practice.

A must see for anyone who has walked the Camino, or anyone who has plans of partaking in this life changing experience in the future.

The film is 75 minutes in length

Only 16 kms from Santiago de Compostela, after 34 days of walking, and a night of food poisoning and a symphony of snoring,

He discusses the phrase ‘Go with the flow’ and his realization that people make a lot of our own problems by not accepting what is.
