Santiago’s Way is a documentary directed by Theo Peruchon and produced by our previous production company Jabuba Films.
It has been 10 years since we made this documentary, many of the protagonists have left us and many others have continued on their path. For us it was a breath of fresh air, a way of life and a unique opportunity to see first-hand this ancient pilgrim route.
After five years, I repeated the experience with my friend Daniel Corral, a childhood friend who always cheated to do all kinds of outrages, the truth is that everything had changed. Antonio (The Alchemist) He was already very old, the reunion was very nice, we also showed him the finished documentary, we were like a walking caravan with a little piece of the past showing the documentary to all the participants, we had sent it to them by email but you already know that the hospitaliers They do not usually distill that management with new technologies.
The Muxía association had literally disappeared and when we got there the atmosphere did not suit us to stay the night. But well there are certain things that last, Cape Touriñán The waves continued to break as always. The cathedral of Santiago had changed; it no longer had scaffolding and was without moss, as if it had been polished and left naked in the middle of that heavenly plaza; but she remained imposing, waiting to be clothed in the next 500 years.
I will never forget this documentary, it was an incredible experience, we traveled by car all those kilometers, we cheated a little, but it was impossible to go with the entire team walking and stopping in each of those places to do the interviews. At least this guide remains, some sites still exist, others have disappeared…
In reality it is like the path itself, I have done the path 3 times and each time it has been different, but different on all levels. I think that’s also its magic; He is still alive, forgetting the past and following his path until the end of time.
Buen Camino.
