8 faith-filled films, TV shows to watch this fall, from 'Soul on Fire' to 'House of David'
1. 'Sarah’s Oil' (in theaters Nov. 7)
From Cyrus Nowrasteh, director of “The Young Messiah,” comes the remarkable true story of Sarah Rector, an African American girl born in early 1900s Oklahoma who discovers oil beneath her allotted land and becomes one of the nation’s first black female millionaires at just 11 years old.
Produced by Jon and Andrew Erwin (“Jesus Revolution”), Kevin Downes, Zachary Levi, and NFL stars Russell Wilson and Ciara, “Sarah’s Oil” is a drama about faith, perseverance and the power of family in the face of greed and injustice. The film stars Zachary Levi, Sonequa Martin-Green and newcomer Naya Desir-Johnson as Sarah.
"Sarah's journey is one of remarkable resilience," said Downes. "'Sarah's Oil' does exactly what we aim to do — tell stories that ignite hope."
