SAN ANTONIO -- A documentary that criticizes toll roads premiered in San Antonio on Wednesday night.
The film, "Truth Be Tolled," debuted at Silverado Theatres, which is near Loop 1604 and Bandera Road, where two toll projects are being considered.
The documentary features plenty of negative toward toll roads and Trans-Texas Corridor, a transportation project that has become a hot-button topic in the Texas governor's race.
Local film maker William Molina spent the past four months attending public hearings concerning toll roads and Trans-Texas Corridor.
"The reason I got involved in this project was I was very disturbed by the fact this was being forced on us, the taxpayer and Texans, without any public vote," Molina said. "So, as I began doing research into this, I realized that what is happening to us is not fair."
Molina said that he hopes his documentary will get people to vote against Gov. Rick Perry, who is pushing for approval of Trans-Texas Corridor.
The film heavily features Independent gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton-Strayhorn, who is opposed to toll roads.
Molina said while his film makes a political statement, it was not funded by any politician or political organization.
