 From the producers of the award-winning series, “Truth Be Tolled”, a powerful new documentary exposes the controversial truth behind US Highway 281. “This is not just one toll road, this is going to be an entire new policy, every new lane, every new road in the State of Texas is slated to become a toll road, if they can make it toll viable.” Terri Hall, a home-schooling mother turned anti-toll activist fights among grassroots in an effort to halt the proliferation of toll roads and the Trans-Texas Corridor. The 281 Special Edition chronicles the dramatic events that emerge during public meetings, environmental lawsuits, press conferences and a State Legislative session plagued by back room deals, comprehensive development agreements and corrupt leadership. “Until trust is restored at TXDOT, the state can not effectively meet its transportation needs.” Government and unelected bureaucracies have figured a way to make money on public infrastructure. The current plan is to convert existing right of ways, already paid and funded by taxpayers, into toll ways and hand them over to foreign and private interests without as much a public vote. Citizens are crying highway robbery. The political establishment is not listening to the people, but their voices and votes will be heard. |

 “All history is the propaganda of the victorious.” TURF Special Edition chronicles the events and shocking developments leading to a landmark lawsuit and exposes the truth behind the Keep Texas Moving advertising campaign. “The Keep Texas Moving campaign is a one-sided attempt to advocate one political point of view on a highly controversial matter,” argues Terri Hall, anti-toll activist and founder of Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom. “It’s clear they’ve not only crossed the line into illegal lobbying, but they leaped over it.” In a David and Goliath battle, Terri and her attorney Charlie Riley, fight against all odds to halt the Texas Department of Transportation from spending taxpayer funds to promote the TTC and toll roads. The plan is not only to convert existing Texas roadways into toll ways without a public vote, but to seize over half a million acres of Texas soil and replace it with a 4,000 mile road, rail and utility network. The Trans-Texas Corridor, the first leg of the proposed NAFTA superhighway, will not only rip the heart out of Texas—it will kill a way of life that has been in the Lone Star State forever. |

 First Texas, then the nation. Government has found a new way to make money on public infrastructure. The plan is not only to convert existing roadways into toll ways without a public vote, but to seize over half a million acres of Texas soil and replace it with a 4,000 mile road, rail and utility network. Many citizens are crying highway robbery. Corporations stand to profit as lobbyists and lawmakers pave the way for private foreign interests. The political establishment is not listening to the people—but their voices will be heard. This award-winning documentary follows the process as citizens exercise their most important power as members of a democracy: freedom of speech. Grassroots organizers to working-class Texans, all unite to state their loud opposition. The strongest voices rise from small rural communities whose farms, homes, schools, businesses and churches face the largest forcible eminent domain acquisition in U.S. history. The Trans-Texas Corridor, the first leg of the proposed NAFTA superhighway, will not only rip the heart out of Texas—it will kill a way of life that has been in the Lone Star State forever. |
