The Story: SHIFTING GEARS

Texas Monthly has chronicled the state for more than fifty years, and nobody knows Texas—its characters and complexities—better than the magazine’s writers and editors. Texas Monthly Presents brings that journalism from the page to the screen, and the first season, titled The Story, transforms select stories into brand-new visual experiences, combining cinematic footage with writer interviews.
