Documentary Screening: La Recua (The Mule Pack Train)
This event is no longer on sale.
Dario Higuera has a dream. At age 70, he wants to build a recua and move early- 20th-century goods down the old trails from the village of Comondú to the city of La Paz. Three generations traveling on mule-back through rugged Baja outback herding a dozen donkeys across 200 miles of dry, thorny, yet beautiful desert. This legendary journey weaves Californio vaquero and arriero history, and the personal backgrounds of Dario and his companions into an exciting tale as they move that “long-eared cargo train” down the trail… and realize “Dario’s Dream”.
Screening followed by a Q&A with producer and co-director Trudi Angell and executive producer Thomas Huntington
