Hector Galan’s documentary, Children of Giant, reveals the long and painful history of de-jure and de-facto segregation in Marfa, Texas before, during, and after the month-long production of George Stevens’ 1956 feature film, Giant. Alumni from the Blackwell School share their memories of Marfa and the summer when Hollywood came to town. In doing so they also reveal the personal cost of systemic discrimination as well as their collective resilience as they reclaim their legacy.
