http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/tuliatexas/ A lone undercover cop moves into a small farming town. By the end of the blazing summer of 1999, 46 people are arrested for selling cocaine—nearly all of them African American. It was heralded as one of the biggest drug busts in Texas history, until a team of lawyers set out to uncover the truth. Two Tulia oldtimers recall their sense from the beginning that the town's drug sting was wrong. TULIA, TEXAS premieres Tuesday, February 10 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.
