‘The Way’ … a walk to the light
It is said that in the mountains of northwestern Spain, at the city of Santiago de Compostela, the remains of St. James the Apostle are enshrined under the altar of the city’s great cathedral. It is to this place that thousands of pilgrims make a pilgrimage each year. The road to this holy place passes over the Pyrenees, through villages and hostels along difficult terrain and gorgeous countryside, and is no stroll on a quiet beach. It is on this road, on this pilgrimage, that director Emilio Estevez has placed his camera, his story and his father, actor Martin Sheen.
