The Unforeseen Series: 2007 Human Rights Watch International Film Festival [Jun. 15 – 28, 2007] Director: Laura Dunn, Country: USA, Release: 2007, Runtime: 93 Laura Dunn’s beautifully crafted documentary follows the career of Gary Bradley, an ambitious West Texas farmboy who became one of the state’s most powerful real estate developers, capitalizing on Austin’s boomtown growth beginning in the 1970s. At the peak of his powers, Bradley transformed 4,000 acres of pristine hill country into one of the state's largest and fastest-selling subdivisions. When the development threatened a local treasure, Barton Springs—a natural spring-fed swimming hole —the community fought back and the subdivision became a lightning rod for environmental activism of the kind that flourished under Governor Ann Richards. However, when George W. Bush became governor, development laws changed, and the water quality at Barton Springs, as well as the surrounding landscape of Austin, was irreversibly transformed. The Unforeseen is a powerful meditation on the destruction of the natural world and the American Dream as it falls victim to the cannibalizing forces of unchecked development. It is an intricate tale of personal hopes, victories and failures, and of debates over land, economics, property rights and the public good. Presented in association with Film Comment
