“Always in Season” by ABHM Friend Jackie Olive Screens at MKE Film Fest

Milwaukee, WI – The 2019 Milwaukee Film Festival will screen Always in Season from director and ABHM colleague, Jacqueline Olive. Back in 2017, ABHM played host to a sneak peak of her film’s “work-in-progress” as part of the year’s Founder’s Day Gathering for Racial Repair and Reconciliation. The premiere and accompanying talks with Jacqueline Olive were the centerpiece of the gathering. Now ABHM is pleased to welcome Jacqueline Olive back to Milwaukee to share the completed version of her debut feature documentary.

Always in Season is a powerful exploration of lynchings in America, both past and present, driven by the recent death of a 17 year-old in North Carolina. Unflinching in its honesty and urgency, Always in Season is one of the most provocative, informative, and thoughtful entries into our current dialogue on race in America. The New York Times wrote that “Always in Season makes a powerful case that the history of lynching in the American South is not just history – that murders still haunt the present-day sites where they occurred, and that such killings can and do happen today.” The film will be screened on October 27, 29, and 30, 2019, with the director attending the latter two screenings.
