Walking Movies that Inspire
Whether a pilgrim, a hiker, or a neighborhood walker, it’s fun to think about doing a long-distance walk where we can clear our minds and reinvent our attitudes. Here are 5 of the best walking movies to inspire you to get out and walk, even if it’s just to the post office box and back.

When I get mad at my mom, Life in a Walk always brings me back to the importance of family.
