A New History of Old Texas: The Battle of Medina

Monday, September 29 at 9PM



A New History of Old Texas: Battle of Medina is a documentary by Brandon Seale that reexamines the 1813 Battle of Medina and its pivotal role in shaping Texas independence.


The project follows Seale and his team’s search for the lost battlefield, using archaeological fieldwork that uncovered artifacts such as musket balls and revealed likely sites of conflict.


Beyond the discovery itself, the film explores the battle’s brutal aftermath, marked by mass executions and widespread property confiscation, which galvanized many Tejanos to join a second rebellion, ultimately fueling the drive that led to the Texas Revolution.
