      abstract = {In 2006, the United States Geological Survey estimated  that more than 200 billion barrels of crude oil rested in a  previously unreachable formation beneath western North  Dakota. Oil companies from far and wide began descending on  small rural towns across the state with men and machinery  in tow.  Crude Independence travels to the town of Stanley  (population 1,300) atop the largest oil discovery in the  history of North America and captures the change wrought by  the unprecedented boom. Townsfolk--store owners, farmers,  and county officials--had lived there for decades when the  oil men began to arrive searching for clear information on  the rightful owners of the land and the riches that flow  beneath it.  Through revealing interviews and breathtaking  imagery of the northern plains, Crude Independence is a  rumination on the future of small town America--a tale of  change at the hands of the global energy market. Framed by  the July 4th parade down Stanley's Main Street, the film  presents a modern American tale of how one resource so far  below ground can dramatically affect life on the surface.},
