The Way (2010)

The Way is an inspirational and emotional journey in which a father (Martin Sheen) goes to complete the Camino De Santiago pilgrimage route that his son died on. Unlike other movies which inspire us to travel for romance, adventure or conquest, The Way shows us a different reason to get out there.

This movie taught the spiritual among us that it can be healing to take a pilgrimage or faith journey and see the great symbols and places that resonate with your beliefs. That’s why followers of Islam journey to Mecca, and followers of Judaism visit the Western Wall, and followers of Christianity walk the streets of the Vatican City.
