We'd be pretty excited over any doc about Barton Springs, especially one that takes a hard look at the shifty land-grabbers and crooks who threaten our Eden-like existence, but once the reviews and awards for THE UNFORESEEN started pouring in we realized that this movie is even more than that.With a cast of characters that includes reviled developer Gary Bradley, former Governor Ann Richards and many others, this is the definitive story of the battle for Barton Springs - and a larger battle that concerns everyone, everywhere.
Expect to see it in contention for the Academy Award next year - that's how good it is.
It's already won the Independent Spirit Truer than Fiction Award and a slew of four star reviews:
"The kind of transformative viewing experience that has made the current period a golden age for nonfiction film." - VARIETY
"A beautiful, soulful work about real estate development and sprawl, focused on Austin's beloved Barton Springs, and if you think that's impossible you haven't seen it." - SALON
