The PBS premiere of Deep in the Heart will air for free on all ten Texas PBS stations on April 5 at 7 PM.
This will be the first time all of the Texas PBS stations broadcast a film at the same date and time. The Texas PBS distribution is presented by Austin PBS with a gift from Lisa and Desi Rhoden and includes a 20 minute never-before-seen segment included especially for Texas PBS viewers. Texas PBS members may access the film now on PBS Passport.
Deep in the Heart is a visually stunning celebration of what makes Texas unique — its diverse landscapes and remarkable wildlife behavior that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Told through the eyes of wildlife species ranging from the mysterious blind catfish to the elusive mountain lion, the story follows our ever-changing relationship with the natural world and showcases our ability to destroy, conserve, and recover wildlife and the habitat we mutually depend on.
Narrated by Matthew McConaughey and featuring state-of-the-art cinematography, this family-friendly film journeys from the highest peaks in West Texas, through our aquifers, rivers, and bays, and deep into the Gulf of Mexico. Deep in the Heart aims to conserve our remaining wild places, to show the connectivity of water and wildlife, and to recognize Texas’ conservation importance on a continental scale.
The film is a powerful call to action for all Texans to work together to conserve the natural resources of our state. Please share!
