Sunday, October 17, 2:00pm Set in the backwoods of Louisiana, STRANGE FRUIT
is a dramatic thriller directed by Kyle Schickner. The story centers
on the investigation of a hate-crime murder committed against a
young black gay man. William Boyle, a prominent openly gay New York
attorney, who happens to be a childhood friend of the victim, is
called back to Louisiana to help solve the gruesome homicide. Boyle
agrees to return to his hometown, but is soon caught in a complex
web of circumstances and cover-ups that jeopardize his career and
put his life in danger. Thwarted in his efforts both by racism from
outside the African-American community, and homophobia from within,
Boyle faces mounting obstacles. In order to solve the mystery and
stay alive, he must eventually face the personal demons he thought
he had left behind. Northwest Film Forum Cinema
