TWO Pembrokeshire brothers have worked together on a religious documentary film charting one of Britain’s medieval pilgrim routes.

Christian and Marcus Holden - who grew up in Saundersfoot and are former pupils of Tenby’s Greenhill School - have taken key roles in the production of To Be A Pilgrim: The Canterbury Way.

The brothers set up St Anthony Communications, initially to provide Christian books and multi-media products 20 years ago. Marcus, now 38, subsequently became a Catholic priest and is rector of the Shrine of St Augustine in Ramsgate.

Christian, aged 41, runs the Saundesfoot-based company which has expanded into documentaries, and following the success of the Canterbury film is hoping to produce something similar about Pembrokeshire and St David’s Cathedral.

“We would cover Tenby and Caldey Island, Penally and Manorbier, all the way up to St Davids,” said Christian. “It would not only provide a great narrative of the history and traditions of our county, but would be visually spectacular, too.”

The new film, which explores the ancient pilgrim route from London to Canterbury, was shot over six days during the summer, followed by two months of post-production.

Father Holden was joined by Father Nicholas Schofield of the Westminster Archdiocese in hosting the film.

“Marcus is a very talented orator, and has appeared on a variety of news channels, so he was the perfect choice,” said his brother.

The 126-minute film, which has been launched at the Gulbenkian cinema in Canterbury, is a two-disc DVD set priced at £12.95 and available through St Anthony Communications, as well as in all the cathedrals along the pilgrim route.
