Archaeologist Mike Collins risked it all to save 30 acres deep in the heart of Texas. What he found here changed history.
The Stones Are Speaking tells the inspiring story of how archaeologist Mike Collins, at great risk and personal sacrifice, saved 30 acres of looted land deep in the heart of Texas and revealed it as one of the most significant sites in the Americas. Collins and his team changed history when they found evidence of people living in Central Texas 20,000 years ago. The film is more than a simple tale of discoveries at the Gault Archaeological Site. It illustrates the power of an individual to make a difference and what people can accomplish when they come together for the greater good.
Director's Statement: We hope the film raises public awareness about the Gault site and the importance of saving other irreplaceable cultural sites before they are lost forever. We also hope the film inspires others to be like Mike and Karen Collins, who set the example for passion, perseverance and selfless devotion to education and historic preservation.
