PAHOKEE
A DOCUMENTARY FILM BY IVETE LUCAS AND PATRICK BRESNAN
We are so so thrilled to present this screening of the award-winning documentary called PAHOKEE.

While we don’t normally present film screenings, we think it’s an important work and we are thrilled the filmmakers are granting us this opportunity to share it with you.

AND, they’re sticking around after the film to have a beer and a conversation about it. And because they are letting us screen it, we are offering it at pay-what-you-can prices, which means YOU decide how much you are able to pay to attend.

We only have 40 seats in our new space, CRASHBOX, so we are sending to a specific group of people, like you. People who engage regularly with RudeNews. Thank you!

PAHOKEE is set in a small agricultural town in the Florida Everglades where hopes for the future are concentrated on the youth. In it, four teens face heartbreak and celebrate in the rituals of an extraordinary senior year.

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. — Giona A. Nazzaro
