First Look: Sarah’s Oil

Sarah Rector, also known as Sarah Rector Campbell and Sarah Campbell Crawford, was an American oil magnate since childhood. Under the Treaty of 1866, due to birthright as a Black grandchild of Creek Indians born before the American Civil War, she inherited land. This movie is inspired by a true story of faith and fortune. Starring Naya Desir-Johnson and Zachary Levi, see more inside and the trailer…

In the early 1900s, young Sarah Rector believes there’s oil beneath the barren land she’s allotted in Indian Territory. As greedy sharks close in, Sarah turns to family, friends, and some Texas wildcatters to maintain control of her oil-rich land, eventually becoming one of the first female African American millionaires.
