The Road to Santiago
Following a life-transforming near-death experience in Thailand (see detailed story here) Alan Field gave up a life of crime to follow his dreams and become a filmmaker, going on to win numerous awards including a Bafta for a script he wrote for BBC 1's 'The Street' a gritty series set in the North of England. His film 'The Road to Santiago' which documents his personal journey of self-discovery along the Camino de Santiago is a culmination of a powerful inner calling to deepen his relationship with God and a divinely-inspired impulse to be a catalyst for other people's religious pilgrimages. He begins his journey following the footsteps of Paolo Coelho, anticipating a promised meeting with the modern day alchemist, and ends it having touched the Divine within himself.

Driven by an inexplicable calling and a grand sense of adventure, each pilgrim throws themselves heart-and-soul into their physical trek to Santiago and, most importantly, their personal journey to themselves.
