Racing Extinction doc splashes down in Dallas for Earth Day Texas

Earth Day Texas arrives next weekend, which means three days of programmed environmental activity at Fair Park. (Don't frack). Among the attractions is a high-profile documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and will show FOUR TIMES for free Saturday and Sunday at the Music Hall at Fair Park. If you do not see Racing Extinction next weekend it will definitely be for lack of trying.

The film comes from the same team that made the Oscar-winning 2009 dolphin doc The Cove. This time they take a broader view of the fight to save endangered species, and even add a little action/adventure flavor to go with the social consciousness. Why the big local splash? One of the co-executive producers is local real estate scion Trammell S. Crow. You can find out more about the screenings here.
