Love and Teenagers
in Hawkins County

In the quiet hollows and winding backroads of rural Tennessee, a new generation of teenagers navigates the raw, messy, and tender terrain of young love.

Set in the Smoky Mountain milieu of Hawkins County, this short documentary peers into the emotional journeys of young people as they explore first loves, face heartbreak, and come into their own. With a quiet, observational approach, it captures the fleeting but deeply meaningful moments that leave lasting marks on young hearts in the American South.
