MGM has launched a new trailer for the sobering ‘Till,’ the true story film about Mamie Till-Mobley’s quest for justice for her son Emmett Till.
The 14-year-old African American boy was abducted, tortured, and lynched in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of offending a white woman in her family’s grocery store.
The nature of his murder and his killer’s acquittal by an all-white jury drew attention to the long history of violent persecution of African Americans in the United States. The film will focus on the fight for justice from the viewpoint of his mother.
Directed by Chinonye Chukwu, the film stars Danielle Deadwyler, Whoopi Goldberg, Jalyn Hall, Frankie Faison, Jayme Lawson, Tosin Cole, Kevin Carroll, Sean Patrick Thomas, John Douglas Thompson, Roger Guenveur Smith, and Haley Bennett.
