Chinonye Chukwu (Clemency) directs this take on the story of Emmett Till (Jalyn Hall), a 14-year-old African American boy who was brutally lynched in 1955.
The story of Emmett Till is unsettling, unspeakable, and infuriating. Yet out of such a cold-hearted and hate-driven crime came another story one of unimaginable courage. And while the story of Emmett Till, his murder, and the travesty of justice that followed inescapably brings feelings of heartache and indignation, the story of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley is one full of inspiration and power.
