The Way is an ode to travel and transformation, indulging in that most American of movie genres (the road movie), while examining one man's awakening to the possibilities of the world he's never really experienced.
Sincere, episodic, and bound to inspire more than a few vacation packages, Emilio Estevez's new film comes to the
Michigan Theater tonight night at 7pm as a free screening. It stars Martin Sheen as a California optometrist whose son (Estevez) tragically dies while hiking outside St. Jean Pied de Port, France - the beginning of the
Camino de Santiago. Devastated by the loss and wanting to honor his son's journey, he decides to complete the months-long trip -- meeting a trio of lost souls along the way.
Estevez and Sheen will be on hand to take questions about the movie afterward.
