I came a bit late to the documentary “A Crime on the Bayou” that opened
on Friday at the Quad Cinema in NY and the Laemmle in Los Angeles. Since
I am so used to “virtual cinema”, I assumed that this would be available
as VOD just like every other film I’ve reviewed during the pandemic. As
it happens, this is only being shown in the physical theaters and well
worth your time, especially if you’ve been vaccinated (what are you
waiting for?)
Written and directed by Nancy Buirski, it tells the story of Gary
Duncan, a Black teenager from Plaquemines Parish, a sleepy strip of land
south of New Orleans. For Blacks, this is about as oppressive an area as
any in the Deep South since the long-time political boss was one Leander
Perez, a Democrat who made Donald Trump sound like a Critical Race
Theory advocate. He once said, “Do you know what the Negro is? Animal
right out of the jungle. Passion. Welfare. Easy life. That’s the Negro.”
