The Cross Movie is a documentary that was released in 2009. Matthew Crouch directed the film in his debut as a director. It chronicles the 38,000 mile journey of Arthur Blessitt, who made the Guinness Book of World Records when he set out to cover the aforementioned mileage, without the benefit of a motor vehicle, carrying a 12 foot wooden cross. His objective was to present the gospel to every nation and major island group across the globe.
The aforementioned director and Blessitt met 20 years earlier. In the summer of 2008, the 2 men met for the 2nd time during Blessitt's journey to Zanzibar, on the African coast. It was during this time that Crouch came up with the idea to write a documentary and film, for the purpose of telling the entire story. The documentary details each facet of Blessitt's journey.
The story essentially began with what Arthur Blessitt calls a basic act of obedience to God: designing a large cross to hang on the wall of the Christian coffee house he started in the 1960s in Hollywood, California called "His Place." Several years later, in 1968, he started taking short walks with the cross to feed homeless people on Sunset Strip and share with them the gospel.
Blessitt soon began to feel that God was calling him to make similar walk, but across the entire country. Shortly after, he left Hollywood and began a journey that would take him all the way to Washington DC and New York City. It began on Christmas day in 1969.
The next year, he walked through war-torn Northern Ireland. It was this trip that started what was soon to be called the walk through the world. In 1988, again feeling led of God, he continued his journey until he had walked through every nation possible spreading the gospel. Ten years after this was accomplished, his mission was complete, and he had even gained entrance to North Korea through an outstanding series of circumstances.
In July of 2008, the film mentioned above was finally completed. Blessitt's wife assisted Matthew Crouch, the film's director, due to the fact that she had traveled with her husband to more than two hundred and ninety of the countries he passed through during his journey. To this day, the excursion is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as "the world's longest walk."
The movie gives a personal account of Blessitt's trip through 315 countries, territories, and island groups. The distance he walked, which was specifically 38,102 miles, is equivalent to circling the globe over one and a half times at its equator. The movie has been received well by both Christians and non-Christians alike, and truly showcases the dedication and beliefs of Arthur Blessitt and his family.
Additionally, the film includes numerous conversations Blessitt had with people he spoke to during his walk. Often, large groups waited to greet him, while other times he journeyed on in complete solitude. He visited many war-torn and troubled regions of the world. No matter how difficult circumstances became, he was never tempted to quit. Select theaters played The Cross Movie, and it can now be purchased from a variety of retailers, as well as over the Internet.
