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.
