First Trailer For Director Chinonye Chukwu’s TILL Is Here Starring Danielle Deadwyler, Jalyn Hall and Whoopi Goldberg

From director Chinonye Chukwu (Clemency), comes the true story of Emmett Till and Mamie Till Mobley, and a mother’s fight for justice.

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.

The film will have it’s world premiere at the 60th New York Film Festival.

Watch the official trailer for TILL.

TILL stars Danielle Deadwyler as Mamie Till Mobley and Jalyn Hall as Emmett Till, also starring Frankie Faison, Haley Bennett, and Whoopi Goldberg

The director says of the film:

“The crux of this story is not about the traumatic, physical violence inflicted upon Emmett – which is why I refused to depict such brutality in the film – but it is about Mamie’s remarkable journey in the aftermath. She is grounded by the love for her child, for at its core, TILL is a love story. Amidst the inherent pain and heartbreak, it was critical for me to ground their affection throughout the film. The cinematic language and tone of TILL was deeply rooted in the balance between loss in the absence of love; the inconsolable grief in the absence of joy; and the embrace of Black life alongside the heart wrenching loss of a child.”

I hope viewers will empathize with the humanities on screen and see our present cultural and political realities within this film. And I hope that Mamie’s story helps us all to realize the power within ourselves to continue to fight for the change we want to see in the world, just as she did.”

TILL is written by Michael Reilly & Keith Beauchamp and Chinonye Chukwu.

TILL will be in Select Theaters October 14th and everywhere October 28th.
