TEXAS: The American Giant More Powerful Than Entire Nations

Texas refuses to fit the traditional definition of a simple state. With a territory capable of containing entire European nations and a Gross Domestic Product that would place it as the 8th largest economy in the world if it were an independent country, this land preserves the autonomy and determination of what was once a sovereign republic.

In this Living Planet documentary, we delve into the gears and contrasts that transform Texas into a global geopolitical force. From the ancient canyons of Palo Duro and the rocky gorges of the Rio Grande to the corporate verticality of Dallas; from the Permian Basin that pumps energy from the continent to the Boca Chica platforms that aim for outer space.

Discover the history, the extreme geography, the financial power, and the centuries-old culture that make this place a continent condensed into a single horizon.

Living Planet investigates the forces of nature, the geographical dynamics, and the territorial contrasts that shape the human presence on Earth. Subscribe to the channel to follow each of our documentary expeditions.
