Badlands, Texas

Freedom is the most essential right of being an American, but in the Badlands, freedom has its own meaning. The tiny, off-the-grid town of Terlingua, Texas borders the Rio Grande River and Big Bend National Park. With the nearest modern city amenities over 200 miles away, Terlingua is less a community and more of a state of mind. In the wake of the brutal murder of Glenn Felts, the townspeople struggle to make sense of the crime and determine how life in their tiny paradise can ever be the same.

A Terlingua, Texas resident is on trial for the murder of a well-known fellow resident and the jury deliberates on a final verdict. When the verdict is announced, not all residents find the closure they were hoping for.

The jury returns a not guilty verdict and residents of Terlingua react in shock and anger.
