Promised Land
{4.5/5} “We have nothing left to sell and we can’t afford to buy anything. You came here to help us. Offer us money… All we had to do to get it was be willing to scorch the earth under our feet.”
Promised Land, released in 2012
Steve travels around making deals with landowners for drilling rights for the huge natural gas company he works for. Once in a while someone complains what happens after the drilling, but he figures they’re crackpots. The movie gives you some insight into an important topic without being a message movie. Matt Damon and Frances McDormand star. Directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting).
