So, I think I am the first review for this movie. There's no summery but I think this is the right Strange Fruit. Its the documentary. I saw it at SXSW.

Strange Fruit was alright. My mom was a immigrant, so I can understand what this movie is trying to say about race stuff and being poor. My mom raised me and my sisters all on her own. So I feel them in that way for sure. But the movie has like two stories going on at the same time which I didn't really get and I was either wanting to know one or the other and definitely wanting to know more about the kid that died's family. I feel like they didn't have had enough for a whole feature length movie so just added in the other story to make it longer or something. The main story never becomes the mystery you think its going to be. There are no good guys or bad guys. They all just seemed pathetic to me thats all.

There's some nice images and emotional moments though, and the characters are interesting enough. I don't know if this will be on TV or play in a theater again (I saw this at SXSW) or if they can still change things. Because it was too long. I think I would have liked it more as a short, because at a hour and a half, it was dragged on too much.
