Star makes film about the Way of St James

BY ANNA ARCO
ACTOR and director Emilio Estevez has said that he made a film about pilgrimage at his father Martin Sheen’s urging.
After attempting to walk the Camino de Santiago de Com postela seven years ago, Mr Sheen re turned to Holly wood and begged his son to make a film about the pil grimage to the Spanish city of St James. Originally the director didn’t want to make the film, called The Way, but he gave in to his father’s request and followed a project which he has come to see as a metaphor for American spirituality. The film fea tures four pilgrims, a grieving father played by Mr Sheen, an angry Irishman who is disillusioned with the Church, a Dutchman who seems lost and a cynical Canadian woman.
