| New Film Exposes Dark Side of
NAFTA Superhighway 
By Mark Anderson
SAN
ANTONIO,
Texas –
William Molina, an
award-winning Texas
filmmaker, has produced a sequel to his widely watched Truth
Be Tolled documentary
series on the Trans-Texas Corridor. It debuts Oct. 30 in San Antonio.
The
sequel focuses on the Texas Department of Transportation’s
(TxDOT)
"illegal lobbying and ad campaign that advocated toll roads and the
Trans
Texas Corridor on the taxpayer dime," said Terri Hall, who heads the
San
Antonio Toll Party and Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom (TURF).
The two
groups are in the forefront of the battle against the proposed TTC
supertollway
and the tolling of freeways.
These
groups, which support candidates for public office and file lawsuits to
challenge official misdeeds, are especially concerned that gas-tax
revenue is
not being properly set aside for freeway maintenance and repairs,
fueling
concerns that politicians will seek to convert Texas freeways into
tollways,
even as the TTC branch of the NAFTA Superhighway network is envisioned
to be
the largest mega-tollway ever built.
"TxDOT
is still actively engaged in lobbying despite the taxpayers’
lawsuit [through
TURF] to halt such activities," Hall added.
The
new film will debut Thursday, Oct. 30, at the Palladium Theater, 17910
West
Interstate 10 in San Antonio.
Moviegoers can meet the cast and crew at 6 p.m. (central time), with
the
screening to begin at 7 p.m.
Molina’s
previous edition of Truth Be Tolled, "won the top
award in the
documentary category at the Houston Film Festival in April 2006. Molina
is an
Emmy-nominated filmmaker and has done work for the History Channel and
the
Discovery Channel as well as for Hollywood
features," Hall noted in a news release.
