Strange Fruit is a documentary about the history and legacy of a song unique in the annals of American music. The twelve simple rhyming lines of "Strange Fruit" paint a bitter and harrowing portrait of a lynching. It's a song that provoked fear, anger, and rejection but ultimately became a hit that reached near the top of popular music charts; it's a song which has never faded from public attention and has been recorded by dozens of artists. Strange Fruit tells of convergences between art and politics, human suffering and human expression. It speaks of intolerance and prejudice as well as the power of poetry and music. Weaving dialogues about shared histories and interests, Strange Fruit ultimately brings us to the song's relevancy today.
