This poignant documentary explores the suspicious 2014 death of Lennon Lacy, an African-American teen who many believe was lynched in his hometown in rural North Carolina. And with Jacqueline Olive’s brilliant storytelling, the film — a Special Jury winner at Sundance — chronicles the barbaric history of lynching throughout America. This moving piece of cinema brings up intense emotions, even fury, as it depicts an historical plethora of racial injustices that have not stayed in the past. — J Matthew Cobb
