Summary
Historical drama based on a true story, starring Danielle Deadwyler and Jalyn Hall. In August 1955, Chicago teenager Emmett Till visits family in Mississippi, where he is kidnapped and lynched by a group of white men. Over the following weeks, Emmett's mother, Mamie, fights tirelessly to show the country what happened to her son, and to pursue justice for his murder.

James Mottram
Chinonye Chukwu's bold and heartbreaking historical drama depicts the aftermath of the infamous 1955 lynching of teenager Emmett Till. A seemingly innocuous encounter in Mississippi between Chicago native Emmett (Jalyn Hall) and a white shopkeeper (Haley Bennett) leads to the boy's horrifying abduction and murder. What follows is the protracted attempt by his resolute mother, Mamie Till-Mobley (Danielle Deadwyler), to bring the killers to justice in a Deep South state riddled with racism, not least in its very legal system. The film thankfully holds back on the violence, but co-writer/director Chukwu (Clemency) finds plenty of chilling moments elsewhere, not least in Mamie's decision to allow a photographer to capture images of her dead son's beaten, swollen face. Throughout, Deadwyler brings power and dignity to her depiction of a woman whose tenacious campaigning helped galvanise the civil rights movement in America.
