I was privileged to meet Dario Higuera and see the film, La Recua, last Saturday at a private showing near my home in North County San Diego.

I sure wish I could be there! I have two beautiful Amazonian Indian baskets and 3 Copper Canyon Indian baskets that I treasure. What fun it would be
to add to the collection.
We once had a California guest at our hotelito whose profession was baskets and basketry. She had dealt with weavers all over the world.mtgoat666 - 6-14-2024 at 08:10 AM
Also expected are our Baja friends Dario Higuera and Trudi Angell, producers of the award winning film La Recua https://larecua.com/ in which Dario is the main character. Also a big welcome to Nadia Luna from La Paz, BCS.
Looks like this movie came out in 2021. Where can it be seen? Is it streamable?Don Jorge - 6-14-2024 at 09:15 AM
When the documentary was first released there was an active screening schedule. It was at TOLN back then and I suspect David K recently was invited
to view it in Rainbow at another nursery? or there abouts, where the principals are staying now. California nurserymen and women are often Baja
aficionados.
I do not know if it is available for streaming but I will ask tomorrow if and how one can view it nowadays. David K - 6-14-2024 at 09:31 AM
Correct, at Santiago's nursery, in Rainbow... about 6 miles from my home. Dave Capron (Baja Vaquero) invited me. It was he who transported Dario from
the airport to Rainbow, as I understand. Santiago (both junior and senior) were very hospitable and invited me to their ranch east of Tecate.
