WHAT: FREE preview screening of Always in Season, followed by a community discussion
WHEN: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED (as of 3/11//20)
Indie Lens Pop-Up presents Always in Season, which follows a mother’s search for justice and reconciliation while the trauma of more than a century of lynching Black Americans bleeds into the present. The Indie Lens Pop-Up series is presented in mid-Michigan by ITVS, Independent Lens and WKAR Public Media.
In Always in Season, descendants of the victims and perpetrators of lynching are working together to heal a violent history. Blending observational footage with first-person testimonies and expert input, Always in Season examines the lingering impact of lynching and the link between this historic form of racial terrorism and the racial violence that exists today.
