The new drama, “Till,” opening in select theaters this weekend, details the historic lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till, a Chicagoan who was murdered while visiting relatives in Mississippi in 1955.
"I told them the only way I would want to tell this story is through Mamie’s lens, is through following closely her emotional journey. For, without Mamie, the world wouldn't have known who Emmett Till was."
"I hope people can interrogate within themselves how they want to be change agents in the world big or small, everything in between, and how we can get outside our own individual bubbles and affect the next person, because we are all connected."
