The title of this docu drama The Overnighters
Is well appropriate.
First, you have all the elements of the drama three wise men, a minister, and a hostile community and of course God.
With all that, you have a documentary about displaced Americans seeking work in the fracking oil fields of the West.

Nice concept.
Drama in that a minister with a secret.  (I won’t’ tell, no pun intended) houses men and a few women in his church, house etc.
Called by God he allows offenders with a rough past into his home.
The media doesn’t like it; his neighbors don’t like it and well eventually the legacy of the west lands on everyone’s head that is in the way.
Sort of like in Siolam.
