Mi Chacra
(Jason Burlage, 2009, USA/Peru, Beta-SP, 99 min)
Grand Prize winner at Banff Mountain Film Festival Mi Chacra, is director Jason Burlage feature debut. The film delves deep into the life of a porter on the Inca Trail. Uncovering a little-seen way of life in the Andes, Burlage follows Feliciano, a descendant of indigenous subsistence farmers high in Peru's Sacred Valley.
In a rhythm that has existed for hundreds of years, Feliciano, his wife, and young son live by the seasons, existing fully off the sparse offerings of the land. To make extra money he works as a porter on the Inca Trail, carrying close to 50 pounds of gear for trekkers on the four-day trip to Machu Picchu.
