Amazon MGM Studios, CR8 Agency, and D3 Entertainment Group afforded Atlanta GA the screening of Sarah’s Oil. The event took place at the Regal Atlantic Station theater and hosted by Grammy Award winning songwriter and producer Tricky Stewart. Tricky main contribution was producing and co-writing the official song for the fil entitled “The Gift’. The song is performed by recording artist Tamar Braxton. The film is also executive produced by Russell Wilson and Ciara. After the screening, there was a Q&A hosted by actress/comedian B. Simone.
Sarah’s Oil is inspired by the remarkable true story of Sarah Rector, an African American girl born in Oklahoma Indian Territory in the early 1900s. She believes there is oil beneath the barren land she’s allotted and her faith is proven right. As greedy oil sharks close in, Sarah (played by Naya Desir-Johnson) 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 millionaire, at eleven years old.
What a fitting story to show in this day and time. Considering that companies are dropping or scaling back on DEI programs because mostly of demographic posture. Only to learn that even back in the 1900s, not all black people were poverty stricken.
