TEXAS CITY

"Texas City" delves into the 1947 explosion of a fertilizer-laden ship in Texas City, Texas, which remains one of the deadliest industrial accidents in U.S. history. Through firsthand accounts from survivors, many of whom have kept their stories hidden for decades, the film explores the personal toll of the tragedy, the complex relationship between the town and the industries that both built and devastated it, and the forgotten impact on marginalized communities. By weaving together intimate stories and historical context, Texas City offers a poignant reflection on childhood memory, loss, the price of industrialization, and the culture of silence amongst survivors.
