Why Now?
Some stories can only be told while they're unfolding. West Texas stands at a defining moment in its history as the proposed border wall sparks questions about the future of its communities, wildlife, and identity. The people living through it deserve to have their voices heard before their experiences become something we only speak about in the past tense.
This documentary is an opportunity to preserve not only a landscape, but the lives, traditions, businesses, wildlife, and communities that make this region unlike anywhere else in America.
