Synopsis:
Why is Diane Wilson -mother of five, fourth generation fisherwoman, Public Enemy No. 1 in Calhoun, County Texas? TEXAS GOLD profiles the brave and ballsy actions that have earned Diane Wilson the title of "unreasonable woman": waging multiple hunger strikes, starting up a business bottling toxic water taken from a superfund site - chaining herself to a DOW chemical tower. Diane believes that "...putting your life at risk is where change happens."
