Till is a profoundly emotional and cinematic film about the true story of Mamie Till Mobley’s relentless pursuit of justice for her 14-year-old son, Emmett Till, who, in 1955, was lynched while visiting his cousins in Mississippi. In Mamie’s poignant journey of grief turned to action, we see the universal power of a mother’s ability to change the world.
Starring: Danielle Deadwyler, Diallo Thompson, Ed Amatrudo, Frankie Faison, Haley Bennett, Jalyn Hall, Jamie Renell, Jayme Lawson, John Douglas Thompson, Kevin Carroll, Marc Collins, Roger Guenveur Smith, Sean Patrick Thomas, Tim Ware, Tosin Cole, Whoopi Goldberg
“Danielle Deadwyler gives the breakout performance of the year as an activist mother who used the 1955 lynching of her son Emmett Till (Jalyn Hall) to galvanize the civil-rights movement. Director Chinonye Chukwu crafts this emotional powerhouse into essential viewing.” (Peter Travers, ABC NEWS)
“Deadwyler doesn’t just evoke Mamie’s speech patterns (which are very specific to Black women in the city trying to shed vestiges of the rural South) or capture her mannerisms, which remain precise at all times; she embodies every single inch of Mamie, body and soul, bringing her to life and making her real in both our minds and our hearts. . . This magnificent performance elevates Deadwyler to the ranks of the great actors of our time.” (Ronda Racha Pendrice, THE WRAP)
