as a new Hallsburg, TX resident, I am so very proud to see what the people of this community have accomplished. As far as the mayor of Dallas, I say forget Sarah Palin and elect Susman!

I kept reading about this film but could not find it anywhere until now. Great little film. Attempts (successfully) to tell an epic story in 30 minutes. Excellent Cinematography, interesting colorful Texas characters. And it’s fairly even handed on the energy issues.
