Strange Fruit is a 1979 short film directed by Seth Pinsker. It follows a black painter in 1948 Georgia who faces racism after becoming involved with voter registration. The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film.
After discovering he's not really black like the rest of his family, likable dimwit Navin Johnson sets off on a hilarious misadventure that takes him from rags to riches and back again. The slaphappy jerk strikes it rich, but life in the fast lane isn't all it's cracked up to be and, in the end, all that really matters to Johnson is his true love.
