Über diesen Film

With its world renowned arts festivals, flourishing economy and collaborative tech culture, Austin, Texas has a reputation for being one of the coolest and most progressive cities in America. Companies like Apple, Tesla, Google and Samsung have opened state-of-the-art factories there and, in the past ten years, Austin has gained 500,000 inhabitants. But this city, with its extreme tolerance of minorities and 'Keep Austin Weird' campaign, is a democrat bubble in ultra conservative Texas. But Texas remains one of the most conservative states in America. Here you don't need a license to buy a handgun and the state recently introduced America's most restrictive abortion law.
