It’s a clarifying and helpful effort. You can follow the film’s distribution and future screenings at http:// decadeoffire.com/. “Always in Season” won a U.S. documentary special jury award at Sundance for moral urgency, and it is easy to see why. It focuses in part on a 2014 incident in a small North Carolina town where, one Friday, a black high school student, Lennon Lacy, was found dead in a mobile home park that he frequently visit- ed, hanging from a swing set. The local police chilled over the long weekend and then told quickly ruled the case a suicide, despite protesta- tions from boy’s family and others close to him that he showed no signs of suicidal intentions The film asks the question whether lynching is really a thing of the past in the U.S.; Lacy’s fam- ily believes he was lynched, and the film inquires as to what seems to have been a very cursory investi- gation that fails to pursue leads and evidence that would support their concern. The more time the film (ably directed by Jacqueline Ol- ive, herself a Southern black single mother) sits with the perspective of the marginalized, the more we no- tice other things--like how strange a suicide in a public place actually is. An NAACP investigator notes an alarming and rising number of such “suicides” among black men in the last ten years. ¬¬Despite the fact that those in- cidents, like most lynchings, took place in public and, in one case, was publicly advertised ahead of time, no one has ever been pros- ecuted (as is so often the case). The film puts Lennon’s case in its historical contest and builds ap- propriate discomfort with patterns that persist on suspicious deaths of black men and the bland public response that exists, even when the FBI is involved. Olive seeks to equip us to look more deeply and question the too-easily-reached of- ficial narrative around such deaths, and to understand the mechanics of systemic racism and how the legacy of lynching persists even to this day.
