 captures the change in Stanley, North Dakota, after an historic 2006 oil 
 discovery there.  The film chronicles the transformation forced upon the 
 residents of Stanley after geologists discover 200 billion barrels of crude 
 oil beneath the small town.  With a population of just 1,300 people, 
 Stanley is immediately thrust into the global spotlight as oil companies 
 from all around the world race to get their hands on the historic “black 
 goldmine.”  With the advent of new drilling technologies, oil companies 
 from far and wide descended on small towns like Stanley across the state 
 with men and machinery in tow.  This “goldmine” of oil is the largest 
 oil discovery in the history of the North American continent.  The film is 
 a rumination on the future of small town America at the hands of the global 
 energy market.  It’s a story about the heartland in the process of 
 transplanting itself, and the new heart is pumping oil.  The film captures 
 the moment wrought by the unprecedented boom in the years since the 
 discovery of oil.  Through revealing interviews and breathtaking imagery of 
 the northern plains, this film tells a tale of change at the hands of the 
 global energy market and America’s unyielding thirst for 
 oil.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5
