5. Emilio Estevez, who plays the role of Daniel (and also directed and produced the film), said in an interview: ". ultimately the movie is about our spirituality and reconnecting. we are told we are so much more connected now by our devices, whether it's a smart phone, computers, or all of these gadgets that we have; I push back against that because I believe we are more disconnected now. This movie is about community, about connection." Do you agree or disagree with this view of modern technology and its effect on community connections? Why or why Not?

Question
El Camino de Santiago: "The Way of St. James" History of the Camino: Christian legend says that the Apostles divided the world into missionary zones, and that the task of bringing the Good News to what is now known as Spain was given to St. James ("Santiago"). Since the 9th century, pious legend has held that an ancient tomb on the site of today's "Cathedral of St. James of Compostela" holds the remains of St. James and two of his disciples. When miracles began to be associated with the site, people began to make pilgrimages ("el camino de Santiago") to visit the legendary tomb of St. James. These pilgrims ("peregrini") start out in France (and other starting points in Europe), and can go for more or less than 800 km., especially across the north of Spain to the city of Santiago de Compostela. The shell of the scallop which is common in the area has become a symbol of the pilgrimage: the many rays on the shell, all leading to a common point, represent the many routes the pilgrims take to end up in the same place, where they are transformed by the joy of receiving God's blessings along the journey. From Santiago de Compostela, pilgrims return home to share that joy. After viewing the film, answer these questions on a separate sheet of paper. Each question is worth 1. Many have spoken of religion as a trip and as a journey. In what ways is Thomas on a trip? In what ways is he on a journey? Which of the two - trip, or journey - seems more important in the film? What does this say to you about your own life? Are we on a journey in this religious education course, and can we expect find joy on our "camino"? 2. The early Christians referred to their common faith in Jesus' Good News as "the Way." Christians were referred to as followers of "the Way". They saw themselves as a community of pilgrims, on a journey of love, compassion, service, justice, and peace. In what ways and in what people do you see this "pilgrim Church" in the film? How are we called to serve today and this semester as pilgrims of love, compassion, service, justice, and peace? 3. At the start of his "camino," Tom wants to make his journey alone; in the end, he becomes very close to three most unlikely companions. What do you think the film is trying to tell you about our journey in life? Are we called to reach out to strangers? How can we help people we meet have a sense of community and belonging? 4. At the start of Tom's "camino," the French policeman asks: "Do you know why you are walking the way?" The same question is asked at the end of the journey: "Why did you walk the 'camino'?" How would you answer this question for yourself at the outset of your "camino" through this course? How do you think you will answer it at the end of this course? 5.
