Public reports prove nearly 5,000 lynchings took place from the 1890s through the 1960s, an era of American history that still haunts black and white communities. For much of the nation, these horrific acts may feel like a distant memory. But when 17-year-old Lennon Lacy was found hanging from a swing set in rural North Carolina in 2014, the police department’s quick ruling of a suicide contradicted blatant evidence he may have been lynched. ALWAYS IN SEASON explores the suspicious circumstances of the Lacy case, along with numerous other historic lynchings in communities still struggling to reconcile their past. The documentary travels to Georgia, where controversial reenactments of a 1946 quadruple lynching take place each year, and reenactors include family members of former Ku Klux Klan followers and supporters. A required history lesson and a chilling look at deep-seated racism still present today, ALWAYS IN SEASON reveals how communities aim to seek justice and healing from our divided history and educate the next generation for a united future. —A.B.
