Synopsis: Veronica Escobar, the first of two Latinas to represent Texas in Congress, and Natasha Harper-Madison, the only African American woman to run for city council in Austin in 2018, lead a diverse group of progressive voices across Texas as they fight decades of institutional racism and policies of discrimination along the border. The battle over immigrant rights, land seizures to build the border wall, and the troubled racial history of the state form the backdrop to a film that explores how a place once known for its reactionary politics is becoming more liberal, more diverse — and more at risk for violent conflict.
