In his excellent documentary, also called Strange Fruit, filmmaker Joel Katz takes a fascinating look at the origins and impact of a ballad that's been called 'one of ten songs that changed the world.'

Product Description:
When her son Kelvin is murdered in the parking lot of a gay bar, Emma Ayers calls New York attorney William Boyals (Kent Faulcon) for help. As he returns to his provincial Louisiana hometown, Boyals must fight the racism of the local police force and endure his own mother's homophobia. This dramatic thriller stars David Raibon (THE SHIELD), Ed Brigadier (GILMORE GIRLS), and Berlinda Tolbert (THE JEFFERSONS) as Emma.
