THE UNFORESEEN
A film by Laura Dunn
Wednesday Nov. 14th, 7pm
Newcomb Hall Theater
93 Mins.
FREE

The Unforeseen, executive produced by Terrence Malick, follows the career of Gary Bradley, an ambitious west Texas farm boy who went to Austin and became one of the state's most powerful real estate developers in the boomtown growth era of the 1970s. When one of his developments threatened a local treasure, "Barton Springs," the community fought back and the subdivision became a lightning rod for environmental activism. The Unforeseen shows the negotiation between the destruction of the natural world and the American Dream in its debates over land, economics, property rights, and the public good.

Stay around after the film tomorrow night to take part in a discussion with Prof. Karen Firehock.
