Rich Hill is a 2014 American documentary film co-produced and directed by Andrew Droz Palermo and Tracy Droz Tragos about Rich Hill, Missouri.[2] The film premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival,[3] where it won the U.S. Grand Jury Prize for a documentary.[4][5]
After its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, The Orchard and Independent Lens acquired distribution rights to the film. Independent Lens broadcast the film nationally on PBS, while The Orchard distributed the film in the U.S. and Canada outside of linear broadcast.[6][7] The film was released on August 1, 2014, in the United States.[8][9]
The film chronicles challenges, hopes, and dreams of three young residents — Andrew, Harley, and Appachey — of a rural American town.
Andrew's father has moved the family multiple times and his mother may suffer from agoraphobia. Harley lives with his grandmother in a trailer because his mother is in prison. Appachey was abandoned by his father at age 6 and lives with his mother and siblings. He chooses not to take medication for a number of conditions, including bipolar disorder, ADD, OCD, and ODD.[10]
