The film centers around 14-year-old Kris (Amber Havard), who, after trashing her neighbor's house in a fit of youthful defiance, seems destined to follow in her mother's footsteps to the state penitentiary. To make amends, she is forced to help Abe Turner (Rob Morgan), an ex-bull rider scraping by on the Texas rodeo circuit, with errands at home and at his work. While traveling with Abe, she discovers a passion for bull riding. Yet, as Kris sets out to learn the dangerous sport, bad influences lure her back into delinquent ways. Meanwhile, Abe struggles with the aches and pains of growing older and aging out of the only life he has ever known. Together, Kris and Abe forge an unexpected connection, helping each other see new possibilities and hope for the future before it’s too late. A cinematic exploration of the Texas narrative, the Museum's Texas Focus Film Series highlights stories by, for, and about Texans. As a SXSW Film Festival retrospective, this season's selections highlight stories of unique individuals and their relationship with society.

Four Women (1975) is an imaginatively choreographed dance interpretation of the ballad by Nina Simone on four common stereotypes of Black women. Illusions (1982) is set in a fictitious Hollywood studio in 1942 and contrasts society's views of Black women with their self-perceptions. This ticketed virtual screening is part of Reel Women in Film, a film series that highlights the filmic works of women in front of or behind the camera. In its third season, we'll reflect on the scope and impact of art and music. After the screening, we will be joined by Dr. Lisa B. Thompson, award-winning playwright, scholar, and professor of African and African Diaspora Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.
