Gaucho Del Norte

Big Sky Competition - World Premiere

“Gaucho del Norte” tells the story of a Patagonian sheepherder from Chile recruited to work in Idaho. The nomadic two-year journey follows Eraldo Pacheco and his herd of more than a thousand sheep across a lonely, rugged landscape—- from the harsh beauty of wintry high desert, to the lush summer mountains.  Living in isolation, Eraldo faces the ups and downs of a psychologically demanding job far away from his home and family.
