Meet The Patels
I first heard about Meet The Patels months ago, and that is because an alumnus from my High School was the director! Now, she went there 14 years before me or so, but it was still cool. We got quite a few newsletters letting us know it was going to theaters and eventually Netflix. Despite …

But this documentary, The Overnighters, isn’t about the oil crash despite how easily it could have been. It was about the oil boon. The only reason people …
