Editor’s Pick: The Way
Ann Arbor is becoming a small hotbed of movie previews. As part of their bus tour across America, Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez are dropping in with their film, The Way. There will be a public screening at the Michigan Theater tonight. Learn how you can attend.
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.
