Crawford, Texas: George Bush on a 50 Foot Inflatable Movie Screen

David Modigliani’s documentary Crawford follows the residents of Crawford, Texas — a town of 700 — through the years when George W. Bush established his ranch nearby and the community became an unexpected backdrop for national politics, media attention, and protest. The film began as an examination of how a small town navigates proximity to power, and evolved into a portrait of ordinary people navigating its long aftershocks.

The film makes its hometown premiere on June 8, projected on a 50-foot outdoor screen at the Crawford high school football field. Tickets are $5 for residents, $10 for everyone else.
