Deep in the Heart of Texas Wildlife

Written By Guest User

Deep in the Heart (2022) is a visually stunning portrait of Texas, told through the eyes of the wildlife species themselves. Narrated by Texas icon Matthew McConaughey and featuring state of the art cinematography, this documentary brings to life one of the world's most diverse, but possibly lesser known set of ecosystems.

Similar in style to Planet Earth, the film shows off some of the most remarkable wildlife spectacles and eco regions in the state of Texas, weaving in the story of our society's relationship with wildlife in Texas over the past 150 years. Award winning filmmakers Ben Masters and Katy Baldock join us to celebrate the diverse landscapes and remarkable wildlife of the Lone Star State.

Joining us as well to co-host this conversation is Matthew Sherwood, host of the Factual America podcast which explores American experience through the lens of documentary filmmaking. Deep in the Heart has its Texas-wide theatre release on June 3rd, and will be available on streaming platforms in July 2022.
