Best Documentaries about or involving Texas?

[GreenspointTexas 9871]

Just got done watching The River and The Wall (incredible btw), and was curious as to if anyone had any other recs for good documentaries concerning Texas?

 

Thanks in advance

I remember a pretty good one about the Texas City explosion and another about Spindletop and the East Texas oil boom. Can't remember the names or find them online. They may have been PBS specials.

Friend of mine created this (the book and full documentary, not the trailer).

I couldn't think of any, but Texas Monthly had an article a while back.  I'll probably try to find the music documentaries on Lightnin' Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb, and Tejano music.

any talk of this getting picked up by a premium cable channel or on demand?

The documentary “Tower” about the Whitman shooting is fantastic.

I can’t find anywhere it’s streaming for free but it’s available for purchase on Amazon Prime and iTunes. And I’m sure it can be found on, uh less than legal streaming sites.

“Running With Beto” is awesome as well. It’s on the HBO app.

Badlands, Texas. Nat Geo documentary series on the killing of Glen Felts in Terlingua outside of his La Kiva bar.
Especially interesting if you’re familiar with the place and the people down there.
