A portrait of life in an impoverished, rural village in Florida, Ivete Lucas and Patrick Bresnan’s “Pahokee” turns the camera on four high school seniors taking major steps toward their futures. A new trailer for the Sundance doc explains that 91 percent of the students at their school quality for free lunch, and yet, over 90 percent graduate each year, and 40 students have made it to the NFL.

The spot introduces viewers to Na’Kerria, Jocabed, Junior, and BJ. The teens are figuring out what they want out of life and how to achieve it. Na’Kerria is ready to graduate, leave, and “start a new life.” Jocabed is determined to “do something” with her life. “I need to contribute,” she explains. “There’s no way my parents can be breaking their backs [working].”

Monument Rising is joining forces with dozens of theaters in the U.S. and overseas for an online release of “Pahokee.” Deadline reports that “more than 50 theaters have signed up to split online revenue for screenings with consumers given the chance to buy a virtual ticket from a participating venue of their choice. Territories to screen the film from April 24 will include U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. A traditional VOD rollout will follow in early June.”

“We are honored to have the opportunity to share these truly inspiring stories from Pahokee High during such difficult times,” said Lucas and Bresnan. “The film exemplifies a community’s drive to overcome hardship and treasure the fleeting moments of everyday life. We spent four years making friends and films in Pahokee, Florida. This feature film is a love letter to a unique place that, like many other rural communities in our country, does not get the attention it deserves,” they emphasized. “Having a partner like Monument Releasing, whose dedication to cinema and love of independent arthouse theaters, is a dream come true for us as storytellers. We can’t wait for people to experience and share the film.”
