About The Movie
THE JOURNEY is a musical exploration of the moments that define us, songs that inspire us, and relationships that connect us to what matters most in life.
Bocelli and his wife Veronica travel on horseback along Italy's Via Francigena, an ancient road traveled by pilgrims for centuries in the footsteps of the apostles and saints. Along the way, they are joined by friends Michael W. Smith, Tori Kelly, Tauren Wells, TAYA, and many others with world-class performances in some of Italy's most magnificent venues and majestic locations.You’ll be swept away by the beauty of THE JOURNEY. Experience the awe of the music, the Italian landscape, meaningful conversations, and the reality of hope, faith, and love.
“My wish is that the movie can offer an invitation to fully live and recognize our daily miracles.” ~ Andrea Bocelli.
“We journeyed by horse for over 300 kilometers along a path that was not always easy to travel, but absolutely beautiful, made of meadows and forests; sacred places filled with lasting testimonies of faith, full of art of incredible beauty, and views in front of which one can’t but ponder about creation and the miraculous work of our Heavenly Father.” Andrea Bocelli talking about his movie, THE JOURNEY, in theaters beginning Palm Sunday, April 2 My Review
I'm a musician so you would expect that I would love this movie for its beautiful music, talented musicians, and moving performances. And yes, I do love that about this movie. Beyond that, there is the ethereal effect of the beautiful sweeping Italian countryside as they journey on horseback. But the message and heart of this movie really come from the dialogue between Andrea and his fellow travelers. The songs interspersed serve as the vehicle to further expound upon the message. It's in the pause...the stops in those quiet places of worship along the way where the message hits the heart.
"I love passing down stories of faith to my children...it is a gift to watch them walk their own spiritual journeys." ~ Andrea Bocelli
I believe this movie will bring hope and a fresh wind to many who are still a bit weary from the past few years. Many times when we have gone through hard things, it is followed by a time of fresh hope. A time to breathe and live again. A time of renewed faith, hope, and love for God and our fellow man.
Take time in the next day or so and go see this movie. Just let it wash over you and just maybe you will find yourself filled with hope, feeling revived, and ready to traverse the journey that is set before you.
