The Way




"You don't choose a life Dad. You live one."

A Catholic family affair, on and off-screen. This 2010 film wasn't religious but certainly spoke to the audience on spiritual topics such as: Why are we here? What is our purpose? And what are we searching for?

A beautifully shot and written script by Emilio Estevez based on a book by Jack Hitt. With a humble budget of just $110 thousand USD, this film that was adapted into French and also Spanish brought in well over $4 million USD at the box office. Actors portraying the actual countries they're from  was fun to see, as well as the chemistry they displayed throughout. Irish James Nesbitt, Canadian Deborah Kara Unger, the lovable and fun-loving Dutch-man played by Yorick van Wageningen and the American whose main journey and story it was about Martin Sheen.

'The Way' was heart-warming, inspirational and lovely story about the historical pilgrimage the 'Camino de Santiago' or 'The Way of Saint James' and it spoke to the hearts of viewers who also suffer with similar challenges along the journey of our lives. An adventure, drama and pockets of comedy this film is one for the entire family!
