Support the Kern Oil Documentary Journey

Donation protected
We’re on an exciting journey to bring to light a story that’s been overshadowed for too long. “Kern Oil Documentary” is more than just a film; it’s a heartfelt narrative that seeks to explore the intricate tapestry of Kern County’s oil saga.

Our team is nothing short of exceptional. It consists of passionate individuals dedicated to delivering a documentary that resonates with authenticity and quality.

The Heart of Our Story:
Our documentary's core is a personal tale of loss and resilience. In 2022, my father’s battle with depression and unemployment led him to take his own life—a tragedy that echoes the struggles within our oil community. Many people here have lost their way of life or taken their own life. Meanwhile, the state consumes 58 million gallons of oil per day. While the state refuses to let us work.

This film is our stand against the echo chamber of discontent. It’s our megaphone to amplify Kern's voices, reach beyond social media and local conversations, challenge state perceptions, and welcome newcomers with the facts.

Changing the Narrative:
We’re determined to shift the perspective on Kern’s oil fields. Instead of succumbing to negative press, we’re showcasing the industry’s human side, impact, and the consequences of poor state regulations.
We’re connecting the dots, revealing the products derived from oil, the origins of California’s oil supply, and the paradox of our state’s dependency on this vital resource.

Your Role in This Epic Tale:
