Strange Fruit

Strange Fruit tells the story of a haunting poem and its powerful impact on American music and society. In 1937, a high school teacher wrote "Strange Fruit," a poem about lynching in the South, which was later set to music and recorded by Billie Holiday. The film explores the poem's journey, from its origins to its legendary performance, and delves into the history of lynching and its connection to jazz. Through a blend of performance footage, biography, and historical context, the documentary sheds light on a lost story behind an American classic.
