Williston: The North Dakota Oil Boom (Documentary)

- This is a story about one of the biggest oil booms in American history and a small town forced to evolve into something it has never been before. In the five or so years since oil drilling began, Williston, North Dakota has been inundated with multinational corporations, controversial fracking technologies, job hungry Americans, and lots of lots of money. As the town and its people confront everything from crime waves to ecological disasters, one thing is clear - Williston will never be the same.


*****
"Big Oil" isn't the only problem. The main problem is job hungry expats (due to the economic collapse) from the Union are overwhelming the population into a multicultural sh*t hole. Remember, no matter how much oil ND produces (or any other US subdivision for that matter) the US will still be dependent on foreign oil.
