NATCHEZ

(Documentary, 2025, Palm Beach County Premiere. Directed by Suzannah Herbert. USA, 86-minutes)

Billowing hoop-skirts sway, Southern drawls charm, and opulent antebellum décor draws wows—all trademarks of the plantation tourism through which the canny owners of once-crumbling historic properties have revived the economy of Natchez, Mississippi. Under the folksy façade of perfect racial harmony and entrepreneurial community spirit there lurks the remnants of an unsettled history. Director Herbert conducts one of the most fascinating and revealing documentary explorations of the year, venturing into the restored mansions where portraits of Confederate ancestors hang in honor and heirloom silver graces the table, observing way behind the scenes where the thoughts often left unsaid are inadvertently revealed. Hailed by Stephen Saito in The Moveable Fest as "one of the great documentaries of the 21^st century," NATCHEZ has won seven festival awards, including Best Documentary Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival.

DROP DEAD CITY

(Documentary, 2024, Palm Beach County Premiere. Directed by Michael Yohatyn and Peter Yost. USA, 108-minutes)

Like a desperate debtor on the run from angry creditors, the city of New York in 1975 was facing down the prospect of total bankruptcy. Essential workers were laid off in droves, garbage piled high in the potholed streets while protests erupted, and the comptroller was compelled to announce that the city appeared to keep no books. Mayor Abe Beame, President Gerald Ford and a host of experts and scoundrels are the key players in this thrilling cliff-hanger tale of political hijinks and financial derring-do studded with NYC-style black humor as the crown jewel of American cities attempts to save itself from the unthinkable, complete financial ruin. According to The New Yorker, the film tells "an enormously complex story of financial fine points and political maneuvering… with a deft touch and a brisk sense of wonder."
