I know a couple of the pilgrims involved in this. They were walking a week behind me and I had an arrangement with one of the ladies to meet up and exchange copies of our books. Unknown to me, she had arranged for the exchange to be included in the film. Unfortunately, I fell into an overflowing river just before Espinal and had to be hauled, unconscious, out of the freezing river. Although I felt well enough to carry on, my family at home were anxious so I got to Burgos and flew home from Bilbao. So there you have it, its a good film but you wont see me in it. The ladie by the way is Claude Tranchant and her book, Boots to Bliss is a good read. We did exchange books by post and she insisted that I sent her my water damaged copyI've just seen this trailer for a new Camino film in an email from Curzon Cinemas.

I spent a night in an albergue with the cast and crew, and had a long chat and almost shared a cab with a couple of their injured members (ended up connecting with someone going to my specific destination). So I would love to see it. But as far as I know it hasn't been shown in the US yet. If anyone knows where I could get a DVD or watch on YouTube, etc., please let me know.

I do not care for Camino films that portray walking it in too dramatic, too hazardous a manner. That can be such a turn-off for people thinking of walking it, not too mention it simply is not that dramatic or hazardous a walk.I went to see it here in NZ and to be honest it was very disappointing. It was about grief rather than the Camino. And it was so disappointing to hear all the comments afterwards and people saying "well, there is no way I would do that. You would have to be mad." I wanted to shout out that the camino is not like that.
Yes, it is definitely a grief story rather than a Camino story. We saw this in a small beautiful boutique cinema, and I enjoyed the cinema more than the film. I took some friends with me, people who love hiking (who hadn't walked the Camino) who were disappointed and found it depressing. There were a few people like me who had walked, and I could hear them saying, 'you really would enjoy it' to others.I went to see it here in NZ and to be honest it was very disappointing.

Interesting, @davebugg. The DVD is available in Australia for AUD 16.67, or just under USD 11. It would appear that the distribution channels might be the source of the high costs, not the film's producers themselves.There is no other source in the US market to obtain this video, except via DVD at a cost of $28.00 / 25.50 Euro. It takes up to 6 weeks to ship and recieve. It is region-free, meaning that any DVD player anywhere in the world can play the dvd.
It is my understanding that the production costs were covered with Crowdfunding, so I cannot understand the huge cost of this dvd compared to a typical dvd purchase. But I am wondering why it is not available, at least in the US market, through a streaming service (paid or otherwise) such as Prime Video or Netflix, etc. I say this not knowing what it might take to get a video published to Netflix, etc.
I'd be willing to 'rent' it for viewing if the rental cost was under 10 dollars. I will not purchase a 28 dollar dvd. Hopefully, this can be marketed a bit better in terms of reaching the casual viewing consumer in our area of the globe.
I didn't see it quite that way, but certainly there was a high level of physical and emotional pain on display, and perhaps the depiction of grief did dominate overall.Yes, it is definitely a grief story rather than a Camino story.

My husband came away convinced that he would need boots because of all the mud and rain, and I had to convince him, the weather wouldn't be like that when we walked, and his shoes would be just fine in September!.
I think the name of the movie sets expectations from some that it will showcase the Camino, if you didn't have those expectations you would probably enjoy it.
It's not like that for you and me but it is for some people, The healing aspect of the Camino can touch us all, their pilgrimage is just as valid as anyone else's if not more so.I went to see it here in NZ and to be honest it was very disappointing.

I saw it. It’s about a group of people who meet while walking the Camino for various reasons. The scenery is fun to see and a happy reminder of the beauty there but the documentary itself in my opinion was a bit whiny. If you have walked the Camino you will enjoy watching their pilgrimage but it does come across a little “whiny”.I've just seen this trailer for a new Camino film in an email from Curzon Cinemas.
