U.S. GRAND JURY PRIZE FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY - Sundance Film Festival (Worldwide Premiere) | SPECIAL JURY PRIZE FOR DIRECTING - Sarasota Film Festival | JURY PRIZE FOR BEST HEARTLAND DOCUMENTARY - Kansas City International Film Festival

Coming of Age • Poverty • Education • Rural America • Family Bonds • Addiction

RICH HILL, Missouri (population 1393). O! the highway, next to the railroad track. ANDREW, 14, works on his bike, talks dreams with his dad, practices dance moves with his twin sister. He’s just like a lot of American teenagers, except that his days are often also about survival. HARLEY, 15, lives with his grandma and eight other members of his extended family because his mom is in prison for attempted murder. Still, Harley is the first guy in the room to crack a joke and make you laugh when you least expect it. APPACHEY, 13, finds solace in skateboards and, despite his intelligence, has had to repeat the 6th grade, which doesn’t come close to fixing what’s broken in his life.

These boys can be tough – they know how to walk with a clenched-jaw stare like they have nothing to lose. But when you get to know them up-close, you see their insight, their humor, and their determination to survive. And despite the isolation and brutality of their circumstances, their hope for a brighter future persists. They imagine that their hard work will be rewarded, and that, although there is no road map or role model, even they can live the American Dream.

Rolling Stone | Logan Hill
"“...a marvel of hard-won heartbreak – a story about boys who have the decked stacked against them and are determined to play their hands, whether they understand the game or not.”

IndieWire | Katie Walsh
“A truly moving and edifying film, ‘Rich Hill’ is the type of media object that could and should be put in a time capsule for future generations.”

The Hollywood Reporter | Duane Byrge
“Often heartbreaking, Rich Hill presents real life as few filmgoers know it.”

Paste Magazine | Paste Staff
"It’s a modest ambition rendered with great feeling."

Movie Mezzanine | Dan Schindel
"Rich Hill is nearly flawless in how it conveys the emotions that come when living in various poverty-related situations while gripped in the throes of adolescence."

The Boston Globe | Ty Burr
"The filmmakers let the boys speak for themselves, their voice-overs as poetic as those in the films of Terrence Malick.”

Nonfics | Christopher Campbell
‘Rich Hill’ Looks Like a Strong Candidate for the Best Documentary of 2014

Medium | Daniel Walber
“The most immediate aspect of Palermo and Tragos’s filmmaking is their palpable empathy. They are committed to showing the dignity of their subjects without idealizing their disadvantages or exploiting them.”
