I loved talking with Bill about his movie and book. Stick with it even though I ask a lot about the movie making stuff, as we get to the heart change transformation when Bill talks about using the crucible of pain on his Camino Walk as a catalyst for personal change: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iuCZmpOXvLiziWQ.html . The first part of this interview, in which he talks about his latest novel, "The Golden Bridge" (well worth a read) can be found here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdxhbNB9ybWoYIU.html Bill Bennett can be reached at www.billbennett.com.au

Rarely watch films anymore but this one sounds special enough to make the exception. Thanks for interview Tim.

Lovely...Looking forward to the film. Already love the title and being Spanish ( well kind of hybrid really...English born, raised in Spain, living in France, haha) el Camino is one of my lifelong dreams. Thanks Bill for your great sense of humour. Thanks Tim for your interviews.I found your channel years ago when I listened to Hamish Miller's nde experience. He was one of the first to open up about it and made such an impression on me. Saludos from Montpellier, France.👋❤❤

Great interview. All kudos to Bennett for reflecting on himself and his behaviour and being humbled by his injury and the Camino. His story reminds me of the life turnaround by John Brierley who wrote a number of excellent Camino guide books. So looking forward to this movie.

Looks great! I will actually be walking the Camino when the movie comes out. As a disabled Canadian retiree I will certainly begin the journey in pain, and maybe with a little hubris too (cough cough). Can’t wait to see how my personal journey turns out, and how this compares with the movie!

Pain is on the one hand a manifetation of getting on in years, but when it's chronic, it's necessarily a barrier and a challenge to be overcome.

I'd never heard of him before or of the Camino. When I saw this film coming to my local cinema I thought I'd take a chance on it. I went this morning and I think his biggest mistake was not casting himself in the lead role. In this interview I find out he'd been to acting school 40 years before and decided he didn't want to be an actor but you'd think, in his career since, that he might have matured a little and been able to take that job on. Jennifer was great and Bill could have made this a real ode to love and learning in life if he'd acted opposite her. I would love to know why he chose not to do that. I think it was a cop out. I don't remember the American guy and the BJ story. That might have ended up on the cutting room floor or I fell asleep during that bit. Otherwise, the movie was okay and it was nice that most of the other pilgrims played themselves. Another reason why, if they had the guts to do it, why couldn't Bill with his experience in the industry? I really admire Actor/Directors and I know most go from acting to directing but why not the other way around, especially in a movie that is about you and your own self development? I would say the film was good but could have been better. Enjoyed, and highly recommend the film I saw this afternoon, "A Great Friend". Can barely find any reviews of that but I highly recommend it. It obviously would have had a bigger budget but to see two films focusing on stories based in amazing scenery was really a treat. All in all, they were two good films to see in one day.

Hi thanks for commenting. Its funny it never occurred to me to ask him directly why he didnt want to play himself in the role. I guess it's just one of those things about the character of a person. Maybe those other actor/directors (you're right, there are many) are just more comfortable being on screen than Bill is. He might have also felt that his work as a director in coaching the non-professionals was going to be immense and maybe he felt he wouldn't be able to help them realx as much if he was in the self role. I havent yet seen the movie myself but hope to when it is released online.
