Docs: A Crime on the Bayou
Inspired by Matthew Van Meter’s “non-fiction novel” Deep Delta Justice, Nancy Buirski’s documentary, A Crime on the Bayou depicts a series of systemic and systematic wrongs committed against two vastly different men, the Black Gary Duncan and the Jewish Richard Sobol. The film’s release is timed to this year’s Juneteenth commemoration of the end of slavery announced in Texas in 1865, the last Confederate state to formally adopt President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation.
