Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago at the Midtown Art Cinema

What is it about Spain's 1200-year-old Camino de Santiago trail that lures people from all over the world to spend a month or more walking the 500 miles with little more than a backpack and a pair of boots? Take this life-changing journey yourself with this award winning documentary.

Since the ninth century, millions of world travelers have embarked on an epic pilgrimage across northern Spain that is known to be profoundly enlightening, spiritually nourishing and physically challenging. Today, several hundred thousand people a year descend on this mostly unpaved path with little more than a backpack and a pair of boots. Through “Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago,” we are able to journey into the hearts and minds of six modern-day pilgrims as they cope with blisters, exhaustion, loneliness and self-doubt to triumph over fears and prejudices that have become roadblocks to living a fulfilled life. Find out why audiences everywhere are raving about the film that Martin Sheen, star of “The Way,” calls a “brilliant documentary.”

Director and Producer Lydia B. Smith will appear in person on Friday and Saturday, May 2 and 3 for Q&As after the 5:00pm and 7:15pm shows.
