The Rabbit Hunt

In the Florida Everglades, rabbit hunting is considered something of a rite of passage for young men.

'The Rabbit Hunt' is a short documentary that follows 17 year old Chris and his family as they hunt rabbits in the fields of the some of the largest industrial sugar farms in the USA.

This is a perfect example of how powerfully insightful a film can be without narration. You'll find yourself keenly observing every detail and the result is what feels like a comprehensive dive into not just the rabbit hunt itself, but into an American lifestyle rarely shown on screen and full of contradictions.

Plunge into this unassuming yet fascinating world and you'll be wishing it lasted longer.
