ABOUT “SARAH’S OIL”
A biographical drama inspired by Tonya Bolden’s 2014 book, SARAH’S OIL follows Sarah, an African American girl born in Oklahoma Indian Territory in the early 1900s, who believes there is oil beneath the barren land she’s allotted and whose faith is proven right. As greedy oil sharks close in, Sarah turns to her family, friends, and some Texas wildcatters to maintain control of her oil-rich land, eventually becoming among the nation’s first female African American millionaires—at eleven years old.
SARAH’S OIL is rated PG for thematic content, some violence, language including racial slurs, a suggestive reference and brief smoking.
