Till: Justicia para mi hijo

Till is essential but deeply harrowing viewing.

It follows the events and aftermath of the lynching of young Emmet Till and the dogged pursuit of justice by his mother.

As you can imagine, the story is incredibly disturbing. It is not an easy watch at all. It is important to note that the violent acts themselves are not shown on screen, however the truly shocking aftermath is shown and this is an image that will never leave you.

I don't think much more needs to be said about the story. It speaks for itself and is full of impact, feeling, raw emotion, and power.

This is backed up by the brilliant performances. Jayln Hall is superb in capturing the boyish charm and excitement of young Emmett. But really this film is all about Danielle Deadwyler as his mother, Mamie. She is superb. Her performance will break your heart.

An essential film that must be watched.
