Amazing cinematography and presentation of our amazing state and the precipice we find ourselves on. I would buy a ticket for every Texan to see this film in hopes it would move more of us to act and help preserve our natural resources.

Enjoyed the movie and seeing the history and positive steps Texas has made to preserve/protect multitude of species. A lot of interesting statistics never knew. Touched on all areas of the state, including offshore and the coral reefs. Beautiful views and scenes of wildlife. Incredible imagery of this beautiful state.

Lived in Texas all my life and still learned many things. Cinematography was stunning. Plus Matthew McConaughey narrating!

Gries is one of those greatly underappreciated actors, so to see him here in almost every frame of the film is a delight.

A well-meaning tale of descent and redemption flatter than a Lone Star prairie.
