"Jesse Moss' verite documentary contains one of the most remarkable examples of layered non-fiction storytelling to come along in some time," wrote Eric Kohn following "The Overnighters'" premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. The stirring documentary went on to win the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Achievement for Intuitive Filmmaking at the festival, and has since gone on to achieve vast critical acclaim. A raw deconstruction of the American Dream, "The Overnighters" studies the impact of the oil boom in Williston, North Dakota on the local economy, and the controversial priest who supports the lives of the newcomers attracted by job prospects.
