This non-profit documentary follows six walkers on their 500-mile walk of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in Spain. It is beautifully filmed and very well paced. The director cast the movie with walkers she met on the Camino. They include an American, two Canadians, and walkers from Brazil, Portugal, Denmark and France. They are each on a separate journey rather than walking together. All are trekking in the traditional way, carrying their gear in a backpack and staying at the albergue pilgrim hostels along the way.

The film is gorgeous, filled with beautiful landscapes. This is not a "how to" guide. While we see daily life on the Camino, and breathtaking views of the scenery, it is more about the people and their personal experiences. I enjoyed the balance between "the interior Camino" challenges of the walk and the physical and social challenges.

Some of the most touching moments are when the walkers are moved to tears in recounting how other walkers helped them along the way. That spirit of giving to each other and supporting every person along the way is a deep tradition on the Camino, and one I would wish could be spread to our daily lives. I found many take-home messages, but my favorite is "A bad day for the ego is a good day for the soul."—About.com
