The true story of Mamie Till-Mobley's relentless pursuit of justice for her 14-year-old son, Emmett Till, who was brutally lynched in 1955 while visiting his cousins in Mississippi.
Went to see this the other evening. At one point I considered leaving as I find the behaviours displayed by man to fellow human beings purely based on their skin colour very very disturbing but feel I owe it to those that suffer unbelievably to that level of racism to see it through.
There's no spoiler alert as you know the ending before you go but its the journey up to the event and the steadfast seeking of some form of justice against pure bigotry that captures you.
In the credits at the end it stated that 'lynching' was not outlawed until 2022. Says an awful lot.
