(Filmmaker in person)

Local Mendocino writer, activist and artist Thais Mazur has called the subject of this film a “warrior mother.” Mother of five, fourth generation fisherwoman, environmental activist, co-founder of Code Pink and author of “An Unreasonable Woman,” Diane Wilson fought the petrochemical companies which made her small Texas county the most toxic place in America with intelligence, humor, civil disobedience and hunger strikes. Texas Gold is a testament to what a warrior mother can do. Narrated by Peter Coyote.
