In 2008 a first time pilgrim and student journalist from Sydney created an online documentary focussing on the Christus Rex pilgrimage.

Australian Camino – a documentary (2008) by Bridget Spinks is a modern look into an ancient tradition.

In this half-hour documentary divided into 10 bite-size packages, you’ll find out about how the pilgrimage came about and how much it has changed since the first pilgrims walked in 1991.

Experience each day with Bridget. Meet the pilgrims who come and discover what motivates people to make it all the way.
