Strange Fruit

William Boyals, a successful, gay, African American attorney in New York, thought he had escaped the racism and homophobia of his childhood in the Louisiana bayou. Drawn back to investigate the brutal lynching of his flamboyant childhood friend, he’s little prepared to deal with the smoldering hostility he experiences. Still, he refuses to back down and demands justice for this violent hate crime. 2004, U.S., color, video, 116 minutes.
