Till at Nova Cinema

Till

130 mins | Rated 12A (racism, disturbing images, upsetting scenes, moderate threat)

Directed by Chinonye Chukwu

Starring Haley Bennett, Jayme Lawson, Tosin Cole, Frankie Faison, Danielle Deadwyler, Kevin Carroll, Roger Guenveur Smith, Jalyn Hall, John Douglas Thompson, Whoopi Goldberg, Sean Patrick Thomas


Directed by Chinonye Chukwu with a screenplay by Michael Reilly & Keith Beauchamp and Chukwu, Till tells the heartbreaking true story of the historic lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till —for whistling at a white woman in Money, Mississippi in1955 —through the eyes of his mother Mamie Till-Mobley. This is what makes the film so compelling, it’s told from the perspective and experience of a Black woman and is co-written and directed by a Black woman.

Mamie Till-Mobley is a widowed single mother who is the head of her household, the only Black woman working for the Air Force in Chicago. Till-Mobley becomes a revolutionary by insisting that the world witness the horror of her brutally maimed son’s body in an open casket viewing as an act of defiance against oppression and hate. “I wanted the world to see what they did to my boy," she said at the time. Till-Mobley also gave the exclusive rights to Jet Magazine to publish the images of her son’s maimed body which caused the lynching to gain worldwide noteriety. A mother’s audacity became a lightning rod in the Civil Rights Movement and propelled her to reluctantly become an outspoken activist for the NAACP advocating for social justice and education.
