Inspired by Tonya Bolden’s book, Sarah’s Oil tells the true story of Sarah Rector (Naya Desir-Johnson), an African American 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, soon becoming one of the nation’s first female African American millionaires at only 11 years old. Sarah’s Oil is directed by Iranian-American writer / producer / filmmaker Cyrus Nowrasteh, director of the films Veiled Threat, The Island,
The Stoning of Soraya M, The Young Messiah, and Infidel previously. The screenplay is written by Betsy Giffen Nowrasteh & Cyrus Nowrasteh. Adapted from the book titled “Searching for Sarah Rector: The Richest Black Girl in America” written by Tonya Bolden. It’s produced by Kevin Downes, Andrew Erwin, Jon Erwin, Daryl Lefever, Zachary Levi, John Shepherd, Derrick Williams, Cyrus Nowrasteh. Amazon MGM opens Nowrasteh’s Sarah’s Oilfilm in theaters starting on November 7th, 2025
