What a privilege to chat to Bill Bennett, the Writer, Director and Producer of a new Camino Movie called "The Way My Way". I was lucky enough to attend the World Premiere of the Movie last week and thought it was without doubt, the best Camino Movie I have seen. So authentic!

Based on Bill Bennett´s best selling Camino memoir of the same title, The Way, My Way is a movie about a man walking the 800km Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in Spain, searching for meaning - not realizing it was right in front of him, one step at a time.

"The Way, My Way" is a film directed by Bill Bennett based on his best-selling memoir about walking the Camino de Santiago. The film captures the journey of a stubborn, self-centered Australian man who embarks on the 800-kilometer pilgrimage through Spain without a clear understanding of why he's doing it. As the journey progresses, it profoundly changes his outlook on life​ (Event Cinemas)​.
The production of the film emphasized authenticity and a minimalistic approach. Bill Bennett, alongside a small crew and some of the actual pilgrims he walked with years ago, aimed to capture the true essence of the Camino experience. The cast includes Chris Haywood, who plays Bill, and Jennifer Cluff, who portrays Bill’s wife​ (The Way, My Way - A film by Bill Bennett)​.
The film is not just a recounting of Bennett's physical journey, but also an introspective and transformative experience, portrayed through the interactions with fellow pilgrims and the challenges faced along the way. It blends drama and comedy, providing a narrative that is both engaging and thought-provoking​ (HOYTS Cinemas)​.
For more details on viewing options and showtimes, you can check the official film websites or local cinema listings as the film is set to release on May 16, 2024.
