The Plot: During the North Dakota oil boom, the unemployed desperately try to make a living for themselves, all while struggling to find somewhere to live. Local Pastor Jay Reinke allows over 1,000 homeless prospectors to sleep in his church over a two-year period, sparking a major fracas with the local community, who don't take kindly to the sudden influx of people in their small town. Why It's Awesome: A deeply conflicting portrait of economic desperation and small town closed-mindedness, The Overnighters is a stranger-than-fiction documentary which introduces a fascinating central figure in Pastor Reinke, whose motivations for his charity become increasingly intriguing and bizarre as the pic wears on. A shattering, devastating twist in the final act seals the film's masterpiece status, a deeply ironic ending that director Jesse Moss could surely never have expected.
