Sarah's Oil

Sarah's Oil (2025) is a faith-and-fortune drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh, it follows Sarah Rector, a Black girl growing up on Oklahoma's Indian Territory in the early 1900s. The plot of land assigned to her is dry and worthless. Sarah thinks otherwise — she's sure there's oil under all that dust.

She's right. Once the wells come in, every greedy operator in the territory wants a piece of the eleven-year-old's fortune. With her family, a few friends and a handful of Texas wildcatters watching her back, Sarah holds her ground and becomes one of America's first Black female millionaires. Naya Desir-Johnson, Sonequa Martin-Green and Zachary Levi lead the cast. What carries the film isn't the oil boom but a child's stubborn certainty that the grown-ups around her keep underestimating.
