  • A short documentary about The (El) Camino De Santiago, a pilgrimage across France and Spain.
    I walked 100k of the Camino at 14. At age 16, I'm armed with a few cameras and ready to battle out the final stretch to Cape Finisterre.
    More films by me (I'm a lot older now) at
    www.spinningshapes.com
    Despite the short time I've had on the trail, I managed to meet a lot of people, discover a lot about myself loose some pounds. Writing this bio at 20, I want to thank everyone who watched this video, it saw a weird milestone in my life I didn't expect to receive in college. One day I will walk the full way and film it, I'm certain of that.

    Special thanks to Pilgrim House, Isobel Dugen for walking with me, Gillian Kincaid Dugen for organising our route and supporting the project and Sarah Fleming for having faith in the idea and forcing me to interview people.
    Synopsis/Script
    For over a thousand years, pilgrims have been making their way on foot to the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela, the resting place of the remains of Saint James. About 2.5 million people a year visit Santiago, over 200,000 of them walking the Camino, a pilgrimage across France and Spain. Traditionally, the Camino de Santiago should begin from the front door of your home. If you happened to live 50 kilometres away from the Cathedral, that was all you walked. If you live in Nottingham, like me, walking from your doorstep would take an inordinate amount of time. But, in fact, plenty of people in Europe do begin from their homes, a few weeks at a time over a number of years. So where did I begin my Camino? In 2013 I walked 116 kilometres from Sarria to Santiago in five days. This Easter, my challenge was to walk 90 kilometres in four days across hills, mountains and rivers from Santiago to Finisterre, The End of the World. Pilgrims from every background are today drawn to the Camino from all over the world. What is common to them all, is that they have left behind all that is familiar to them, in order to wake each day to a new stretch of road.
    No two pilgrims are likely to experience or to understand the Camino in exactly the same way. Some will have walked one hundred kilometres, some five hundred, some more than a thousand. It is essential to travel as light as possible, as everything you need is carried on your back whilst walking roughly 20 kilometres each day. As a filmmaker, I had an excessive amount of equipment.
    “The Way” is an inspirational film about Tom, a man who decides to walk the Camino after collecting the remains of his adult son, killed in a Pyrenees storm whilst walking the Camino. What Tom doesn’t plan on, is the profound impact the journey will have on his life. In a way, that very film had an impact on my life in that it inspired me to immediately plan to undertake the final aspect of the same journey, knowing that such an adventure would shape me as a human being at an informative stage in my life. There is a well known saying that the Camino begins when you reach the end. What does this mean to me? It is true that days of walking can produce fatigue, loneliness and pain. However, the sense of achievement that you get from completing such a journey is indescribable.

    Well done! When you make the Camiño (in 'galego' hehe), you connect to another reality: your aims change, your tastes, the way you look to your dearest things and people... I started it from Parque São Lucas, São Paulo, Brazil - there and back again twice, 2014 and 2018. Ultreia

    The Camino (yellow arrows) also starts in Sé de Faro (interior)-Tavira Church of Santiago (East) from south ALGARVE of Portugal and follows up from interior from Alentejo to Oporto (Central or to Lisbon and Fátima junction( blue arrows) of pilgrinage and from the coast up to Oporto...Also from Camino do Norte Chaves Bragança and Orense....I mean the Camino de Santiago Compostela in fact are a sequence of many other directions that will reach Compostela...

    How not to die in America and go back to Mother Galicia my home country ..... read ;
    "polyunsaturated Toxic fats"
    In the 1940s, the agricultural chemists found that they could fatten their animals faster if they poisoned their metabolic systems with an anti-thyroid drug. The found the animals would get fat on very little food. Yet, the drug turned out to leave a carcinogenic residue in the meat.
    Farmers soon found out that corn and soybeans containing polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) would do the same as the anti-thyroid drugs and suppress the respiration of the animals and make them get fat on very little food. In the process they found that they were getting these yellow-fat diseases and brain degenerations (degeneration of the gonads, infertility, and so on).
    Around the same time the medical people noticed that the cholesterol was lowered in the process of eating a lot of these polyunsaturated fats. And that led to the spreading of the marketing of unsaturated fats to the human food supply, rather than just for the fattening of farm animals. And since people didn't want to gain weight on the least amount of food, they needed a new reason for selling their fats to humans. And, lowering cholesterol became the excuse in humans.
    But the agriculturists knew all through the 1940s that corn and soy oils were very fattening, and eventually, very toxic. But since they sold their animals as soon as they reached a marketable size, they didn't care (if they died later; they were killing them before they had the chance to die of the degenerative diseases)." -RP
    Bottom line: Although,the polyunsaturated fats will lower cholesterol (by suppressing the immune system), one of their main functions is to fatten animals, including you if you consume them, on lower calories. This is why farmers use high polyunsaturated fats foods like corn and soy to fatten their animals.
    What foods are high in polyunsaturated oils ? Vegetables, seed and nut oils. Nuts, seeds, soy, corn, fatty fish like salmon, omega 3 and 6 oils, fish oil, and animals that are fed a high polyunsaturated diet .
    .....How to stay healthy , eat organic ,eat citrus fruits , take 2 spoons of collagen gelatin every day best brand is called Great lakes Gelitin (hydrolysate Gelatin) from grass fed cows . do not suntan , but go in the sun we need natural Vitamin D . drink water with lemon every day and take 2 grams of vitamin C .Sleep 10 hours , go to bed no later than 10:00pm sleep makes you lose weight , keep you immune system healthy and your skin radiant . lift light weights 3 times a week and eat a low carb diet ,no pasta , no bread , no junk food , no peanut butter ,..... polysaturated fats are toxic they slow down your thyroid you gain weight and also they put plaque in your arteries ! stay away from toxic oils and fats !!!!, no safflower oils , no corn oil , no nuts , no fish oils ,soybean oil, sunflower oil, no peanut butter they contain polysaturated oils ,.fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring and trout are very high in toxic polysaturated fats.All nuts are contain rancid saturated oils
    Best oil is cold pressed "Coconut oil" and extra Olive oil . also coconut oil is good for the skin as a sun blocker .Drink filter pure water .Eat a raw organic carrot a day to detox your liver . Do your own research .
    This book by Kate Deering has great information on polysaturated oils , she also has many article about health on her website and her Facebook account check it out ;
