Years after Lee Ed Frazier’s death, his daughter Jan made a shocking discovery: as a young man her father had participated in a lynching. Now, as she attempts to uncover the truth about what happened, Jan must reckon with deeply conflicted feelings about the father she loved, grapple with how to hold her family accountable, and face the dawning awareness of her own unconscious racism.

“A gripping and essential exploration of race, accountability, and the far-reaching consequences of family secrets.” — Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Post-screening Q&A panel discussion with composer Lilah Larson and animator/graphic designer Todd Ruff, moderated by Jamal, with others TBA!
