Always in Season

Summary Was it suicide, as the white police insists, or was it a suppressed lynching, as the black community accuse. A grieving black family and their southern community force the local police to submit to state and federal investigation of how they rushed to a conclusion of suicide instead of truly investigating what is obviously the lynching of 17-year-old Lennon Lacy. Lennon was in a relationship with a 30-something-year old white woman who had prostituted herself for her drug habit. This documentary explores the tradition of lynching to control a black population and how this tradition informs the relationship between police forces and black communities. It also shows how historical re-enactors bring back the stories of lynching and white terrorism, to the shame of the white southern populations, in an effort to keep the dialogue going and to teach the black community to not let the terrorists get away with it.
