A documentary on 40 years of a Good Friday tradition by a Christian faith group will be shown during an awards and fundraising event at the weekend.

The Walk to Calvary group will celebrate the men and women who oversaw the annual performance. Awards will be given to eight trailblazers before the screening of a documentary chronicling the start and evolution of the procession.
