Outta The Muck

Bhawin Suchak + Ira Mckinley (Dir), 79 minutes, USA, New York State Premiere

Director Bhawin Suchak in attendance.

Introduction by Kathryn Larsen, Vice President of Content Distribution at Buffalo Toronto Public Media.

Family, football and history come to life in an intimate portrait of the Dean family, longtime residents of the historic town of Pahokee, Florida. We take a journey back home, with filmmaker Ira McKinley, to the land of sugarcane, as he reconnects with his niece Bridget and nephew Alvin and explores their shared family history that spans seven generations. Told through stories that transcend space and time, Outta The Muck presents a community, and a family, that resists despair with love, remaining fiercely self-determined, while forging its own unique narrative of Black achievement.
