Tulia, Texas In 1999, in the town of Tulia, Texas, nearly 50 of the town’s residents were rousted from their beds early one morning and arrested on drug charges. Almost all of them were black. This documentary chronicles the strange series of events that led to the arrests, as well as the ensuing national outrage and the attempts by civil-rights lawyers to intervene and reverse a blatant abuse of the law. Racism, of course, was the driver of this injustice, but what’s amazing is how many of the white people in Tulia think something else was really going on. (Codirectors Kelly Whalen and Cassandra Herrman scheduled to attend.) By Eli Sanders
