God Save Texas is a three-part docu-series inspired by Lawrence Wright’s book of the same name. Subscribe for more from Factual America: http://bit.ly/AlamoPictures In each episode, an acclaimed filmmaker explores the past, present, and future of the Lone Star State. Episode One is directed by Richard Linklater, Episode Three by Iliana Sosa. Episode Two is directed by Alex Stapleton, and she joins Matthew Sherwood to discuss what it was like returning to her hometown of Houston to explore the effect of Texas’ oil and gas industry on her family and local communities. That effect has been vast, for though the energy industry has brought a lot of prosperity to Texas, the cost it has charged has been equally high. Nevertheless, Alex explains that she has hope in the future. That hope rests firmly on the local communities. And it is so strong that Alex has now returned to live in Houston permanently. Among the other topics that Alex and Matthew discuss are mythbusting, the industrial world that lies below Houston, how Lawrence Wright’s book helped Alex to articulate her mixed feelings towards Texas, and the absence and erasure of Alex’s community in Texas’ history. The main thesis of God Save Texas is that what starts in the Lone Star State will in time be experienced by the rest of the US. The series, therefore, can be seen as being both an epic and intimate drama. Go behind the scenes of Alex’s part in it on Factual America. “I think that the biggest lesson that I got out of making this film is that community is so important. And it's what makes Texas so unique... Texas has always had this wild wild west identity, but we find community, we build communities...the people of this state are pretty incredible.” – Alex Stapleton What is Covered: 00:00 – Trailer for God Save Texas 02:14 – Matthew Sherwood introduces this episode’s guest, Alex Stapleton, and her docu-series, God Save Texas 04:25 – Alex explains what God Save Texas is about 08:35 – Alex discusses the episode of God Save Texas that she directed: The Price of Oil 11:06 – Houston and Huntsville and the families who live there – side- by-side but also apart 14:09 – The adverse effect of little or no regulation of the energy industry 17:46 – How The Price of Oil developed in the researching 22:45 – Alex discusses the hope she has for the environmental future of Texas 32:13 – The origin of the God Save Texas docu-series 34:23 – How and why Alex came onboard God Save Texas 36:43 – The vulnerability of appearing before the camera 37:33 – Matthew reflects on how God Save Texas made him homesick 39:58 – The difficulty Alex faced in putting her family on camera 41:55 – Covid: The biggest challenge that Alex faced in making The Price of Oil 43:26 – Alex: Once a Houstonian, now a Houstonian again 46:43 – Discussing Alex’ latest project: How Music Got Free Resources: God save Texas https://www.hbo.com/god-save-texas MovieMaker Magazine https://www.moviemaker.com/ Innersound Audio https://www.innersoundaudio.co.uk/ Connect with Alex Stapleton Website https://www.alexstapleton.com/ IMDb https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1677210/ Instagram   / stapletonkas   ▬▬ FACTUAL AMERICA PODCAST ▬▬ Factual America uses documentary filmmaking to examine the American experience as well as universal topics that affect all Americans.
