I've been wanting to see this film for a while, but the only screenings seemed to be in London about once a month. However Adam Wells of discoverthecamino.com is now hosting screenings followed by a Q&A session at various locations around the country - in big cities like York and Liverpool, and smaller places such as Castle Cary. I've just booked a ticket for Oxford on 14th February - will anyone else be joining me?

I know I could buy the video for around £15, and that would save me the effort and expense of getting to Oxford, but I like the idea of meeting other pilgrims at a screening.

Since I decided last May to walk the Camino and started to mention it to people I meet in daily life, I have only encountered ONE person who has done it - and she gave up at Logrono. Others are aware and know someone/a friend-of-a-friend who has done it, but the majority seem never to have heard about. Most think I am mad to want to walk across Spain...

So I thought it might be fun to meet with some kindred spirits!

Some but not all, and other routes too.

I had the same reaction before my camino, still not sure whether I'm mad or not, but for me it was an experience of a lifetime and I'm sure it's the same for the majority of pilgrims.
I haven't seen the film yet, unfortunately it's too far for me to travel, maybe I should buy it.

Got the DVD as a gift at Christmas. Its very watchable and doesn't have Martin Sheen trying to act in it!!
( am I the only one who thought his performance was sub-standard ? - whoops - probably alienated many of you out there in Camino Forum land!)

You didn't alienated me, but I found his acting very believable, perhaps an age thing? Buen Camino, SY

An age thing!! I've never fully grown up x
I think all literature, films, music etc is personal preference - lets just agree to disagree.

Hi, Julie -- I just reserved tickets, but we need to hope that others do as well -- only 8 out of 30 have been taken! I'm not sure I could identify you from your picture, but I still look (somewhat) like this so do introduce yourself if the screening goes ahead.

I'll look out for you Alice. There are still 3 weeks to go for bookings, so with luck it will happen.
