Sara is a young girl raised in a family of Texas goat farmers. Her parents homeschool their twelve children, rigorously following the precepts of the Bible.

Declaration
film director
“I find Texas to be a unique place, full of character. The people are fiercely independent and extremely proud, and the culture and traditions of the South are staunch and firmly rooted. As a foreign observer, I am drawn to this distinct culture of guns, cowboys, and disparate spiritual communities. Even though Texas is a vast state with large metropolitan areas, its core is composed of a myriad of small towns, almost irrelevant from a topographical standpoint, but very rich from an anthropological one.”
