Metrograph Strange Fruit

“To commemorate Black History Month Strange Fruit collects a handful of unusual eclectic and incendiary movies that for one reason or several hardly feel like they should exist. From a long-lost movie about lynching to Depression-era Christianist propaganda as high camp a forgotten blackface-ridden sequel to the first abolitionist lit classic and a Midwestern American Negro’s paean to Second City alienation as translated by a Frenchman in Argentina these are movies that normally don’t make the Black Exceptionalist highlight reel but should.”—Brandon Harris author of Making Rent in Bed-Stuy Amazon Studios refugee producer of things at I’d Watch That.
