Arlington, Texas, 16 February 2007

The University of Texas at Arlington Student Planning Association will sponsor a showing of Truth Be Tolled, a recent documentary film critical of the Trans-Texas Corridor project. The film will be shown at 7 pm, Friday, February 23, in Room 115, University Hall, on the University of Texas at Arlington campus. It will be followed at approximately 8:30 pm by a 30-minute open discussion of the film, the project, and associated issues.

The film presents citizen reactions to the initiative and highlights many of the issues that have proven so controversial in the selling of the project by Texas Governor Rick Perry. This showing will come hard on the heels of a pro-Trans-Texas Corridor talk given in Fort Worth at the Women’s Transportation Seminar luncheon by Phil Russell, Director of the Texas Turnpike Authority Division of the Texas Department of Transportation.

The event is free and open to the public. For further information please contact Kent Hurst at klhurst AT uta DOT edu. For directions to University Hall, please visit the UT Arlington Web site at http://www.uta.edu/maps. Free parking is available the evening of the event in lots to the south and west of University Hall.
