OWC RADiO host, Cirina Catania<\/a>, sits down with filmmaker John McDonald about his ten-year journey to film his latest documentary, “Call Me Mule<\/a>,” the story of a man named John Sears, nicknamed “Mule,” who has lived a nomadic lifestyle for the past thirty years, traveling across the country with his three mules in tow. Living in harmony with nature, enjoying this beautiful United States on foot, and advocating against our country’s dependence on motorized transportation and urban sprawl, Mule finds his simple way of life threatened by those determined to uphold the establishment. Despite his many confrontations with law enforcement, he and his mules refuse to give up. “Call Me Mule” is a fascinating story about a man and his mules, living his life exactly as he wants without concern for modern conveniences. He doesn’t need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John McDonald’s documentary has been accepted to many festivals around the world and has won Official Selection and Audience awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
