I recently had the pleasure of being invited to attend a one time showing of a film at the Plaza Paraiso Cinemas here in Cabo San Lucas. The name of
the film is "Corazon Vaquero - The Heart of the Cowboy." It is a 65 minute poignant documentary filmed in the ranches of the Sierra de San Francisco
and the Sierra de la Gigantes ranges,"chronicling the peace, humor and hospitality of a people living as one with their environment and with each
other." The film makers have beautifully recorded the way of life of the Spanish settlers here. This is a must see for all who have an affection for
Baja California and its history. It is directed by Cody McClintock with commentary by Harry Crosby, Gary McClintock, Eve Ewing and Fermin Reygadas.
You may order a DVD of the film through the website at http://www.corazonvaquero.com As well, there will be a free showing in San Francisco CA this month. Information is on the website. The films
commentary is in English and where the dialogue is in Spanish it is subtitled in English.
I have no commercial interest in this film. I am a long time reader of this board (12 years living in Los Cabos) and a previous poster in a past
life. I just have not seen any mention of this film and wanted to share. Enjoy!David K - 7-8-2008 at 06:25 PM
Yes, the 'search' button on each Nomad page works great if you want to see if something has been previously discussed on Nomad.
Since I posted, Doug has made the DVD available from his Tienda Baja Nomad... as he provided the link, above. I suggest every back country Baja buff
see this film...Skipjack Joe - 7-10-2008 at 08:37 AM
Thank you for the heads up. The free screening is close enough to work that I'll be attending it.
