PAHOKEE

NYC PREMIERE In rural southern Florida, Na’Kerria, Jocabed, Junior, and BJ anxiously prepare for life outside Pahokee High School. Collaborating with these personable teenagers, filmmakers Ivete Lucas and Patrick Bresnan follow them throughout their senior year, navigating small triumphs and difficult tragedies along the way. As the teens complete several rites of passage, including glorious football triumphs and a stunning prom night, graduation looms large, and with it the question of what comes next. This intimate cinematic yearbook is a generational snapshot of those striving for a better life.
