Award winning filmmaker Andrew Morgan’s latest film is the documentary, TEXAS, USA. As in his earlier films such as THE TRUE COST and THE HERETIC, he informs us about big topics through the impacts on individual lives.

TEXAS, USA explores what it takes to build a new, hopeful vision for democracy against entrenched, well funded forces against the full participation of all Texas citizens. The film follows progressive candidates, Lina Hidalgo, Greg Casar and Beta O’Rourke, as well as community organizers, Tori Gavito, Brianna Brown (Texas Organizing Project – TOP) and Adri Pérez, during the 2022 elections.

We see the human side of politics – whether going door to door in major cities or addressing crowds in small, rural town-hall meetings. It documents that democracy is very much alive and succeeding even in an era of reactionary politics aimed at suppressing it.

We spoke with Andrew on October 2, 2023 via Skype.
