What I’m watching tonight.
“Till”
In 1955, after Emmett Till is murdered in a brutal lynching, his mother vows to expose the racism behind the attack while working to have those involved brought to justice.
Till is a profoundly emotional and cinematic film about the true story of Mamie Till Mobley's relentless pursuit of justice for her 14 year old son, Emmett Till, who, in 1955, was lynched while visiting his cousins in Mississippi. In Mamie's poignant journey of grief turned to action, we see the universal power of a mother's ability to change the world.
Carolyn Bryant Donham's, Emmett’s accuser who admitted she fabricated her testimony and false accusation that set off the horrific events in 1955 is still at large and a free woman until today.
