[Gocamino] Camino movie with Martin Sheen

[Robert Spenger]

I thought that they might have created the crisis that way, but I couldn't tell from the clip. I have stopped for breaks on bridges myself and have taken my pack off. But I make sure that I put it down in a secure spot. I remember one such incident on my trip this last May. There was no raging stream, it was just an expressway crossing. I wasn't in the middle, where it could have fallen on the expressway, but on the ramp, which had steep brushy sides. It would have been a tricky, arduous task to try to go down into that thick brush to retrieve a dropped pack.

I can picture a situation in which the hiker is very tired and and not as careful as he/she should be in securing the pack.

Hi Bob, from what I could see of the 'raging stream' clip, it seems Martin 
Sheen's character inadvertantly drops his backpack over the edge of a bridge 
parapet, and then has to swim through the river to retrieve it.  So really 
it could be one of many rivers along the Camino.

My concern is that the snippets in this film clip seem to be out of order, 
so am hoping the movie is not quite like this.  But then, it is just a 
movie!
