Batsies

About
the Film

Bats play a large, unseen role in Texas’s agricultural economy & food systems, both as pollinators and as free, natural pest control. Batsies follows passionate Texas State University wildlife biologists as they work against the clock to find a way to save the bats, while breaking barriers of their own.
