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.
