Sarah's Oil
Directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh
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. As greedy oil sharks close in, Sarah turns to family, friends, and some Texas wildcatters to maintain control of her oil-rich land, eventually becoming among the nation's first Black female millionaires—at eleven years old.

neutral · AI labelView post →FYI this movie, Sarah's Oil, is right-wing propaganda. It's being pushed onto audiences by the conservative-leaning production company Kingdom Story Company. Don't watch this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah%2...

neutral · AI labelView post →There is a new film just out titled Sarah's Oil. I know that the Koch's stole their oil, which doesn't surprise me. Like they literally bombed Tulsa where blacks had created a Wall Street, similar in NC I think. Whites cannot tolerate a black being richer, although many are now.
