Join us for a free screening of Jacqueline Olive's Always in Season, a new documentary that examines the lingering impact of lynching and the link between this historic form of racial terrorism and the racial violence that exists today. The film explores how descendants of the victims and the perpetrators of lynching are working together to heal a violent history, while reminding us that lynching is not entirely confined to the past. Presented locally by CPTV, the Yale Film Study Center, and the Yale African American Affinity Group.
