When It's Good, It's Good

When she returns to rural West Texas to document the effects of the boom-and-bust nature of the oil industry on her hometown, filmmaker Alejandra Vasquez unexpectedly captures the political transformation that takes place in her family over five years and two election cycles. An intimate portrait of place, of family and memory, of politics and economy, “When It’s Good, It’s Good,” centers around life in an oil-town called Denver City, Texas.
