Deep in the Heart celebrates the diverse landscapes and remarkable wildlife behavior that cannot be found anywhere but Texas. Told through the eyes of wildlife species ranging from the mysterious blind catfish to the elusive mountain lion, the story follows our ever-changing relationship with the natural world and showcases our ability to destroy, conserve, and recover wildlife and the habitat we mutually depend on.

Narrated by Matthew McConaughey, this family-friendly film journeys from the highest peaks in West Texas through our aquifers, rivers, and bays.
