St James is a compelling reflection on what it truly means to follow. In a world obsessed with visibility, numbers, and surface-level influence, this film contrasts modern ideas of “followers” with the radical, costly, and transformative kind of following that defined the life of James — one of Jesus’ first disciples.
Set against the backdrop of the Camino de Santiago, St James unpacks how a man with no remarkable achievements, fame, or wealth became the inspiration for one of the world’s most famous pilgrimages. Why? Because he followed someone who changed everything. Through Scripture, history, and the enduring relevance of Jesus’ teachings, the film invites us to consider a different kind of influence — one measured not by breadth, but by depth.
