Florida Crackers

About This Movie

Florida Crackers is an interesting look at a niche lifestyle, focusing on the descendants of Celtic and British settlers who still run cattle and horse ranches in Florida. The documentary has a raw, authentic feel, capturing the atmospheric landscapes and the rugged lives of these modern cowboys. The pacing is reflective, giving you time to absorb the rich history and traditions they uphold. It's not just about the ranching though – there are underlying themes of heritage and identity that resonate throughout. The directors, Rob James and John F Michie, manage to weave in personal stories that make it feel very grounded. It’s a unique glimpse into a world that often goes unnoticed, with a tone that feels both reverent and honest.
