John Sayles' Yellow Earth is a sweeping epic that explores the competing agendas and worldviews of a diverse cast of characters in a small town hit by an oil boom. When oil is discovered beneath the town, locals, oil workers, service workers, politicians, law enforcement, and opportunists collide, leading to a tripling of the population overnight. Harleigh Killdeer, chairman of the tribal business council of the neighboring Three Nations reservation, joins forces with a fast-talking entrepreneur to pursue sovereignty by the barrel. Sayles' masterful storytelling spans from the earliest exploitation of the land and its people to twenty-first-century privatization schemes, revealing how the profit motive erodes human relationships and our living planet. The fate of Yellow Earth serves as a parable for our times, highlighting the destructive impact of greed and exploitation on communities and the environment.
