The Invisible City: Houston’s Housing Crisis; Part 2: Messages was part of a KUHT public television five-episode interactive community documentary. An oil boomtown, 1970s Houston was a fast-growing city with skyscrapers and reduced unemployment. But the filmmakers saw a Houston bifurcated between the visible with its well-paid residents and the invisible with its lowwage earning citizens lacking basic city services. Focused on invisible Houston, Blue and Santos solicited audience feedback to incorporate into subsequent episodes.
