Documentary 'Always in Season' puts the 2014 killing of a North Carolina teen in the larger context of the history of lynching African Americans.
When the lifeless body of 17-year-old Lennon Lacy was found hanging from a swing set in a Bladenboro, N.C., trailer park, local investigators were quick to, but his family members had reason to believe something even more horrific had taken place.
As their efforts to find a semblance of justice and closure are charted, the film pulls back to examine the country’s shameful history of what the NAACP’s Sherrilyn Ifill describes as “a form of racial terrorism,” emerging at a time after the Civil War when newly emancipated slaves were making economic and political gains.
Over in Monroe, Ga., meanwhile, the film, which took home a special Sundance jury prize for “moral urgency,” profiles the relatives of victims and the adult child of a former KKK leader who take part in an annual graphic reenactment of a 1946 quadruple lynching, intended to keep their memories alive.
