Arreo

Official Synopsis

Arreo is an award-winning feature documentary following the Parada family, charismatic gaucho herders living in the dramatic Andean foothills of Malargüe, Mendoza, Argentina. The film captures their grueling seasonal transhumance driving thousands of goats high into the snow-capped mountain pastures of the Andes. Along the way, Eliseo Parada and his family confront severe climate drought, modern economic pressures, and the looming prospect of their children leaving pastoral life behind for city jobs.
