Documentary About Houston's Third Ward to be Aired at The Houston Museum of Fine Arts.

Brian Ellison’s “A Day in the Tr3” will air at the Museum of Fine Art’s Houston.

 “A Day in the Tr3” is an excellent documentary about life in Houston’s Third Ward. Brian Ellison moved to Houston’s Third Ward from Tulsa, OK eight years ago and currently works as a special education teacher at YES Prep. He describes the Third Ward as a welcoming community where neighbors wave at each other, neighbors know one another and business owners know their customers.

The seven-minute film follows Dominique Elam and captures scenes such as elders playing dominoes on the porch, a woman dancing in a church and the rubble that piled up after Harvey. The project premiered at a Project Row Houses event last fall. It was presented along with photographs of the third ward and a wall of sticky notes informing guests about the neighborhood. The Museum of Fine Arts Houston is lucky to host such an excellent film and it will teach many people about life in Houston’s Third Ward.
