Always in Season - Documentary Film Screening and Conversation with Filmmaker Jacqueline Olive

About

In partnership with Ford Foundation’s Just Films, we invite you to join us for the New York premiere and discussion of the Sundance award-winning film Always in Season.

In 2014, Lennon Lacy, an African American teen, was found hanging from a swing set in rural North Carolina. Despite inconsistencies in the case, local officials quickly ruled Lennon’s death a suicide. His mother believes he was lynched. The documentary, Always in Season centers a mother’s search for justice for her son.
