And a pretty special one — Jennifer Fox’s six-hour doc “Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman” — unspools April 7 — 9 at the University of Texas and the Alamo Ritz. Fox will be at the shows to discuss.
The series is described as multi-part “journey into the hearts and minds of women. Fox comes to a crossroads in her life as she juggles relationships with two men in her life. Her own indecision between heated passion and security and love leads her to seek advice and stories from her friends around the globe.”
