Finding Our Way - The Camino de Santiago Documentary
A pilgrimage for both the body and mind - the Camino de Santiago is really something special. This documentary shows how we found our way, the hard way.
We walked the Camino Frances in August 2021. We had no idea the impact that it would have on us and spent many of our days looking forward to its end. Six months later, we are still talking about our time on the Camino and its impact on us. We had no idea that the Camino was exactly the journey we needed and would continue to teach us life lessons to this day.

Pilgrims [Documentary - Camino de Santiago]
Documentary: Pilgrims
Duration: 57 min
Languages: English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Italian. (Subtitled)
Camera: Iphone7+
This documentary is about the pilgrims who walk the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. The route has been around since the 9th century and, more than a millennium later, it attracts thousands of pilgrims seeking spiritual experiences every year. In 2018 alone, the pilgrim’s office registered more than 300.000 walkers. But what would drive so many, through incredible lengths?
To discover that, I would cross 900 kilometers across Spain. The journey would take me 32 days, or a total of 1.100.610 steps. After all...
Who are the pilgrims? And why do they walk?
---
I am grateful to have been able to tell stories as unique and surprising as the ones I found on the Way. I tried to be as respectful as possible with everyone who was kind enough to share their stories with me. The reflections that pilgrims raise are among the most pertinent. Not only for walkers who travel the route to Santiago de Compostela. But for all of us who share the same journey throughout life.
Do not be mistaken. I speak directly to pilgrims. Both with those who have already been, and with those who do not yet know, but are.
Buen Camino,
Alexandre

[Journalism Final Project - University of São Paulo]
This film was realized as the final project of my bachelor in journalism, at the University of São Paulo. My proposal was to explore the limits and narrative possibilities provided by the smartphone, through the production of this documentary. I hope to be able to demonstrate that it is possible to achieve the highest caliber cinematography with simple tools, and that the cheapness of smartphone technology can be considered a democratic revolution in the field of mobile journalism.

Is Camino de Santiago from Sarria as bad as everyone thinks?
Camino de Santiago from Sarria is the most popular part of the Way of St. James as it allows all-ages pilgrims to join this amazing adventure everyone is talking about! But there are some downsides to this popular 100km path as it becomes busy. It was also my case until I went to India to walk Guirivala in Thiruvanamalai along with other 300.000 people!
This episode is about understanding what my mistake was while I share about this amazing trip in India and Camino de Santiago Frances from Sarria.

Plan your Camino de Santiago walk with confidence...
Join us on our travels! About this episode:
If you have watched our Intro video ( you will know that 2021 turned our world upside down! We decided that as a family we would not wait any longer to start exploring the world and the Camino Frances ( was one of these bucket list items that we just had to do.
Getting ready for this walk (500 miles of it we hasten to add) was nerve racking, we are not massive hikers and we had not done anything like this before, however, after we reached Santiago de Compostela ( after walking for approximately 40 days we felt elated...we now know why other pilgrims do it and return time and time again.
We pretty much completed a daily vlog of our journey with two of our children (Henry, 15 and Megan, 12) and shared it with the YouTube community and we thought it was time to collate those videos and put the best bits into one vlog. We really hope that you enjoy watching this 6 week journey of ours and if you are thinking of doing it with your family then please feel free to comment below with your questions, we will answer each one of them truthfully ????.
Buen Camino and happy travels! ????

IG:
For many years, I dreamed of walking the Camino de Santiago, waiting for the right time and the right opportunity. I often thought that my moment would never arrive as I got caught up in my busy and hectic life.
I was lucky to take this special journey and walk the camino, almost 900km, from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port all the way to Finisterre, meeting incredible people along the way from all over the world.
It was amazing meeting such an assortment of individuals, with diverse cultures, languages, with varied life experiences, joined together by a singular goal - to complete the walk to Santiago de Compostela, all in one piece and, hopefully, with a few more answers about life’s questions.
Along with my Camino walk, I have been asked - what made you want to walk the Camino, Did you find the answers you were looking for. There is no doubt that a journey like this, literally walking hundreds of kilometers, sometimes alone and sometimes with friends, gives one the opportunity for self-reflection – asking questions about who you are and who you have become – something that we do not have the luxury of doing in our day to day lives. I loved the opportunity to think, to process,
but mostly, I loved the opportunity to hear my friend's stories, their lives journey, experiences, good moments and the sad ones.
Whether you chose to walk the Camino de Santiago to overcome the death of a close friend or loved one, you lost your job or sold a business, you were heartbroken, you were on a religious pilgrimage or a student in between school semesters, what was truly inspiring for me was the openness of people around me, who willingly shared their stories – their highs and lows, heartbreaks, and joys. Listening to my friends and sharing my own stories has given me a very new perspective about the importance of cherishing special life moments and appreciating the little things in life.
I was privileged to be part of a group of individuals from around the world who chose an incredibly challenging journey that, by its nature, was soul searching and spiritually uplifting.
And as for me – Did I find the answers I was looking for?
What I realized is that I don’t need to find all the answers. The Camino taught me an important lesson – It's not about reaching the destination or goal, it’s the journey that is important. Finding the answers will just make my life journey - BORING.
And to all of you - Buen Camino and thank you for being part of my journey. You made my trek of the Camino so special. Each one of you affected me in a different way and I will always treasure our special moments

Pray and Go to the Ends of the Earth. Camino de Santiago.
Please share with others.
The author, Krzysztof Jaxa-Kwiatkowski, made a lonely walking pilgrimage, along the Camino de Santiago Way - the Way of Saint James, from his home in Krakow, Poland, to the door of the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in Spain, and further to Cabo Fisterra (the medieval, symbolic End of the Earth), in the traditional Christian door-to-door form, covering 3,469 kilometers.
The documentary Pray. And go to the ends of the earth ” is a retrospective and reflective story from a four-month lonely walking journey through six European countries.
This documentary is the editing result of short videos and photos from the journey, provided with the author's narration.
The film focuses mainly on self-discovery, personal search for hope and a deeper relationship with God, as well as the pilgrimage aspect of loneliness that can strengthen this bond. It also mentions Angels and demons, whose presence every Pilgrim will, sooner or later, sense within and without, i.e. both in their souls and in the outside reality.
This documentary also tells the viewers about the meaning of inner exploration and traveling on The Way through the author's experience of everyday life, his adventures and people encountered on the trail.
The film is not only the author's testimony. Its purpose is to inspire other Pilgrims to embark on their journey along the Way of St. James and to introduce spiritual/religious practice into their everyday lives.
The picture is accompanied by great music Boże Granie by the Uwierz Miłości Foundation.

What to expect from the Camino Portuguese: A Documentary
Stingy Nomads:
In the video I say I would talk about a time we almost didn't find an Albergue - this was in Pontevedra, a point where the 3 paths of the Camino Portuguese meet up and it becomes really busy just before you his Santiago. We planned to camp so didn't call ahead, then decided later in the hike we wanted a comfy bed, so decided to try our luck and go into town. We got turned away from two places, then the 3rd place the lady pulled some strings and found us a bed in the back. Lesson learned: Call ahead!
