The Promised Land: The Dangers Of Drilling

For this assignment, I watched “The Promised Land”. This movie is about a sales man, Steve, who goes to a small town in the country side that has been hit with economic hard times. Steve’s job is to go to big farm properties, and buy drilling rights of natural gas for his company, Global. He is originally from a farm town, so in order to be able to buy these rights, he “blends in” as a country men.
