Walking Stick is a raw and redemptive meditation on transformation through vulnerability. Framed by the physical and spiritual journey of the Camino de Santiago, it tells the story of James—a flawed, fiery, and fragile disciple—whose life is radically reshaped not by perfection, but by love.
The film explores how we, like James, stumble forward with hidden pain, pride, and insecurity, but find that it's precisely in the limping that grace meets us. We’re not loved because we change—we’re changed because we’re loved. As James becomes someone who lifts others up, Walking Stick becomes a portrait of how personal brokenness can become communal strength, and how the true legacy of a saint is not found in a cathedral, but in every act of compassion along the way.
