EMMET TILL VO à CINEPAX MADAGASCAR
EMMET TILL VO
Directed by Chinonye Chukwu with a screenplay by Michael Reilly & Keith Beauchamp and Chukwu, Till tells the harrowing true story of the historic lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till for whistling a white woman in Money, Mississippi in 1955 - through the eyes of his mother Mamie Till-Mobley. That's 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.
Grandma Till-Mobley is a widowed single mother who heads her family, 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 son's brutally mutilated body in an open coffin seen as an act of defiance against oppression and hatred. "I wanted the world to see what they did to my boy," she said at the time. Till-Mobley also gave Jet Magazine exclusive rights to publish the images of her son's mutilated body, which helped the lynching gain worldwide notoriety. A mother's boldness 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.
