Based on the landmark true story, Till follows Mamie Till-Mobley (Danielle Deadwyler), a widowed single mother and the head of her household whose life is suddenly, heartbreakingly changed when her 14-year-old son Emmett is lynched in Mississippi.
Till-Mobley defies the tragedy to become a revolutionary by insisting that the world witness her brutally maimed son’s body in an open casket viewing – an act of powerful defiance against oppression and hate.
This audacity becomes a lightning rod for the Civil Rights Movement, and propels her to become an outspoken voice in the battle for social justice.
