“This documentary profile of the Texas governor was produced largely by Arkansans, including co-director Jack Lofton, director of photography Gabe Mayhan and executive producer Susan Altrui. Worth seeing if only to remember a time when a state that’s most recently elected Rick Perry and George W. Bush as governor was led by a liberal icon.”

Watch the trailer for “Ann Richards’ Texas” after the jump.
