PAHOKEE is a powerful portrait of a small rural town in the Florida Everglades. A close-knit community fighting financial insecurity and a bleak future. The camera pays attention to detail, thanks also to a hyper realistic photography, capturing the daily life of the city with a wealth of nuanced detail. From beauty contests to school and sports events, Ivete Lucas and Patrick Bresnan represent gender and identity ideas through social and collective rituals.
