THE PUSHBACK
From producer Richard Linklater and director Kevin Ford, The Pushback was an official selection of SXSW, and tells the story of 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.
