Sarah Rector, a Black girl born in early 20th-century Oklahoma Indian Territory, believes there is oil beneath the barren land she’s allotted, and her faith proves right.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Drama without loud gestures — tension builds not through conflict, but through pauses and glances. The film demands attention and repays it fully.

The story is told honestly — no manipulation, no cheap catharsis. Certain scenes stick in memory. Weak spots exist but get lost among the strong moments.

For those who value films about people, not events. Action lovers — not their evening.

Director: Cyrus Nowrasteh
