HoustonPBS Community Cinema presents a free preview screening of a documentary film based on the massive drug bust that took place in the small Texas town of Tulia in 1999. In the panhandle town of 5,000 people, at least 46 were arrested during the drug raids by an embattled narcotics officer named Thomas Coleman. Residents were outraged when they discovered that 39 of the 46 arrested were black, and that Coleman himself was wanted in a nearby county for theft. The screening of Tulia, Texas is a sneak preview for the documentary, which will air on PBS's Emmy-winning series. After the film there will be a discussion with a panel including a lawyer familiar with drug laws, a former undercover narcotics officer, and Dean Becker, host of the talk radio show Drug War News.
