William Earl The first trailer for “Till,” based on the true story of Mamie Till-Mobley looking for justice after the murder of her 14-year-old son Emmett Till in 1955, has been released.The trailer touches on many key parts of the family’s story, from Emmett on summer vacation visiting relatives in Mississippi, to the unfounded accusation that he was speaking inappropriately to a white woman in a store (which likely was Emmett unknowingly breaking an unwritten Jim Crow-era “rule” of the town), to his murder and his mother’s pursuit for justice, including having an open-casket funeral for her son.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. It was directed by Chinonye Chukwu and was co-written by Chukwu, along with Michael Reilly and Keith Beauchamp.

How do you overcome an unimaginable tragedy? The murder of Emmett Till remains one of the cruelest and most disturbing events in U..S history. While many know this as a pivotal point in civil rights history, its meaning is even more significant for the woman who knew him best.
