Saturday, October 20Lone Star
Curris Center Theatre
Murray State University
7:30 p.m.
The Texas/Mexico border is a cultural political anomaly where 19 out of 20 people are Hispanic, yet the one Anglo of the tw20enty holds the power. Sam Deeds has just been elected sheriff of Rio county on the strength of his late father’s reputation as a lawman. But Sam knows more of his father, Buddy Deeds, than meets the admiring public’s eye. When a corpse is found in the desert an investigation leads to a many-layered tale that is as fine a piece of detective cinema as there is to be had and a dissection of multifaceted life on the border. Free.
