About This Movie
The Mule Pack Train is a fascinating little documentary that immerses you in the rugged life of a 70-year-old saddle maker, Darío Higuera Meza. His journey through Baja California, spanning 200 miles in 20 days, feels both intimate and expansive. The film captures the harsh beauty of forgotten trails and the struggle against the elements—like rattlesnakes and oppressive heat—while he and his family manage the pack train of donkeys. It’s not just about the physical journey, but also about resilience, family bonds, and the connection to the land. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the landscapes and the simple yet profound moments of life. A unique snapshot of a way of life that’s fading.
