Kind Of Blue


Listen Later

Aran talks with filmmaker, Kevin Ford, about his latest documentary, Kind of Blue. Kind of Blue explores the political tide changes in Texas and how they might effect the 2020 elections.
For decades Texas has been a reliable Conservative stronghold, the ultimate red state. But with massive changes in the state’s demographics and 38 electoral votes at stake — the second largest number in the U.S. — even the slightest shift in the political climate could turn Texas into a blue state and could change the future of the United States.
KIND OF BLUE looks at a diverse group of Texans — ranchers, politicians, law enforcement officers, activists, healthcare workers, lawyers, journalists, business leaders, teachers, artists, and many more — juxtaposing their personal stories with cinematic vignettes of their communities. These are people who defy the stereotypes of what it means to be Texan, who oppose policies of the Trump Administration. These are people defending human rights, defying land seizures for a wall, protecting the environment, and campaigning for social justice.
