‘Till’ A Film Based On A True Story

“Till” is a film based on a true story about the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American from Chicago who was visiting family in Mississippi. The title refers to the moment when Till’s mother had to identify her son after his brutal murder and mutilation for supposedly whistling at a white woman. Written by Michael Reilly and directed by  Chinonye Chukwu and produced by Beauchamp, Reilly. “Till” re-creates the historical events leading up to Emmett’s murder with crisp, engaging dialogue that tackles complicated issues of race, class, religion and politics at a time when it was dangerous to do so. Emmett is portrayed by star Jalyn Hall, who plays the part with sensitivity, humour and purpose. His mother, Mamie Till, is played by Danielle Deadwyler. The limited release of the film has already generated favourable reactions from Black critics for its “truthful tone” and “realistic empathy”. But it has also provoked a lively discussion among some fellow Blacks about the value of a film that focuses on racial trauma and pain rather than broader community issues.

What is the Movie About?

“Till” tells the true story of Emmit Till’s murder, and why it has remained so relevant in our society today. The film is based on the horrific events that led up to Emmitt’s murder and trial. Mamie Till (Danielle Deadwyler) was a devoted mother and a fearless civil rights activist who fought for justice for her murdered son and risked everything to stand up for his civil rights. The film centres around Mamie’s journey as she fought for truth, justice and the promise of freedom in 1955-a year when hatred of African-Americans was more visible than ever. The film features an ensemble cast who find their way into the story not only through their individual performances but also as characters representing an array of emotions and spirit in one unified, unflinching portrayal of both racial strife and personal tragedy. This is an experience unique in film; an intimate, true story of a mother’s strength and commitment to her deceased child’s memory.
