Claudia Lacy wants answers. When her 17-year-old son, Lennon, was found hanging from a swing set in Bladenboro, North Carolina, the authorities quickly ruled his death a suicide. In light of suspicious details surrounding his death, and certain that her son would not take his own life, Claudia is convinced Lennon was lynched. Jacqueline Olive's unwavering debut film ALWAYS IN SEASON puts Lacy's pursuit for justice into a wider historical context, inspiring a powerful discussion about lynching across racial lines. Appalling accounts of lynchings carried out at the beginning of the twentieth century provide a necessary historical framework, while an annual lynching reenactment in Monroe, Georgia, offers insight into the enduring legacy of racial violence in America. Olive's layered exploration follows one African American family's personal experience with a justice system that has failed so many, while also hinting at the promising first steps of a nation trying to reconcile. Olive's film honors and acknowledges the injustices that have been inflicted, while emphasizing that only through the uncomfortable conversations and acceptance of our nation's history will we begin to heal together. Director / Producer Jacquelin Olive joins us for a conversation on the bitter, pernicious and deadly legacy of the Confederacy and the enslavement of human beings in service to big business interests.About the filmmaker: Director / Producer Jacquelin Olive is an independent filmmaker and immersive media producer with fifteen years of experience in journalism and \film.
