The hottest August / Grasshopper Film ; Independent Lens, PBS ; Walking Productions and OH Ratface Films ; co-production of The Hottest August, LLC and Independent Television Service (ITVS), with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) ; directed and produced by Brett Story ; produced by Danielle Varga.
New York City, including its outer boroughs, during August 2017: it's a month heavy with the tension of a new President, growing anxiety over everything from rising rents to marching white nationalists, and unrelenting news of either wildfires or hurricanes on every coast. The film pivots on the question of futurity: what does the future look like from where we are standing? And what if we are not all standing in the same place? The Hottest Society is on the verge of catastrophe, with anxieties, distractions, and survival strategies preoccupying ordinary lives.
