Pahokee (2019), 112 minutes, directed by Ivete Lucas
Synopsis: This powerful documentary follows four teens in an impoverished town in rural Florida as they experience the joys and heartbreaks of their last year in high school. After playing to a standing ovation in Sundance, the film has been an audience and festival favorite!
Ivete Lucas and Patrick Bresnan paint a detailed and astonishing portrait of Pahokee, a rural village in the Everglades, Florida. Very close-knit, its inhabitants fight to face fragile financial situations and an uncertain future. Through a precise observational approach, the film captures the daily life of this city restoring a rich palette of nuances. From sporting events to beauty contests at school, filmmakers explore social and community rituals, and how gender and identity are portrayed as new stories are created. Going well beyond the teaching of Wiseman, which Lucas and Bresnan have perfectly integrated, the film seems to bathe in the singular atmosphere of a song of Gil Scott Heron, with lingering hints of rural blues tinged with urban echoes. A complex multi-faceted work that recalls both the raw social realism of the new American cinema and the neorealist style. Pahokee is the powerful portrait of a forgotten America, absent from the current political discourse.
Praise for Pahokee:
“Every now and then comes a documentary that feels like an American landmark. Pahokee is one of those films.”
- Pat Mullen, POV Magazine
“Lively and rousing as a generational snapshot, buoyed by the lovable, resilient kids at its heart.”
-Guy Lodge, Variety
“An intimate portrait of black and Latino high schoolers reaching for greatness. Full of hope, life, and beauty in a place mostly known for its struggles.”
- Monica Castillo, Remezcla
“Beautifully and thoughtfully composed. A warm and tender community portrait.”
- Arlin Golden, Film Inquiry

Why doesn’t my theater’s promo code work for my pre-order purchase?
