FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Emilio estevez on miracles pilgrimages - The Untold Story

Why is Emilio Estevez re-releasing a film he directed his dad Martin Sheen in over 12 years ago? The actor-director stopped by Salon's studio to share the story behind the second release of his 2011 film, "The Way," which takes place in Spain along the 500-mile Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route where hundreds of thousands make the journey each year – a tradition since the 9th century.

The film enjoyed some small success in its original showing, but has since garnered attention and letters from tens of thousands of fans from around the world who were inspired to walk the Camino after seeing the movie. "I may never make a film like this that actually has that kind of an impact on so many people that got up out of their chair, got up their couch and said, 'I'm going to do that,'" Estevez said on "Salon Talks."
