Pain

THE WAY OF ST. JAMES

Episode 5

  • The honesty of suffering
  • Vulnerability and community
  • Carrying each other’s burdens

Pain is a raw and honest exploration of the wounds we collect along life’s journey—and what it means to be truly seen in them. Set along the Camino de Santiago, where pilgrims often wear their blisters like badges of honor, the film draws a moving parallel between physical pain and the deeper emotional and spiritual wounds we all carry.

Rather than offering clichés or easy answers, Pain reveals a God who doesn’t dismiss our suffering but steps into it—who walks with us, weeps with us, and washes our feet. Through stories of blisters, brokenness, and the radical empathy of Jesus, Pain becomes a tender invitation to community, healing, and the courage to reveal what hurts so that love can reach it.
