The Mule Pack Train

About The Mule Pack Train

Darío Higuera Meza, a 70-year-old saddle maker in Baja California, traveled 200 miles in 20 days by muleback, herding a pack train of donkeys all the way to La Paz. Overcoming health issues, rattlesnakes, and hot days on dusty, forgotten trails, he and his family carried a load of goat cheese, dates, sugarcane candy, and wine.

The Mule Pack Train (2021) is a documentary film directed by Darío Higuera Meza and Trudi Angell. At 86 minutes long, it arrived in April 2021.

In the United States it streams on PBS.
