Four high school seniors in the small rural town of Pahokee, Fla., are the subjects of an observational and empathetic new documentary.
, among sugar cane fields and gator-filled canals, the rural farming town of Pahokee, Fla., could have been the backdrop of a very different story than the one told in “Pahokee.” Pegged for years as “the worst town in Florida,” hardships galore lurk beneath these periwinkle skies and Everglades sunsets, where a water tower looms overhead, reminding its residents exactly where they are.
With a patient and unobtrusive eye, filmmakers Lucas and Bresnan paint impressionistic portraits of a quartet of charismatic teenagers over the course of a pivotal school year. “Pahokee” is the feature-length culmination of documentary work by the filmmakers in recent years in Pahokee. Their intimate spotlights on the everyday lives and rituals of its townsfolk and young people are also the focus of 2018’s “Skip Day,” which won best short film at the Cannes Directors Fortnight program that year.
