Productions include a documentary called “An Accidental Drowning,” which looks at the brutal 1939 lynching of Jesse Lee Bond in nearby Arlington, directed by Matteo Servente. The film received support from The Lynching Sites Project, dedicated to learning the “whole and accurate truth” about Shelby County history as a truth-and-reconciliation approach to racial healing.
