Movie Description:
The film that helped reopen one of history`s most notorious cold case civilrights murders is the result of the director`s 10-year journey to uncoverthe truth. Many consider this case to be the major catalyst for the American Civil Rights Movement that changed the course of history. In August 1955, Mamie Till-Mobley of Chicago sent her only child, 14 year-oldEmmett Louis Till, to visit relatives inthe Mississippi Delta. Little did sheknow that only 8 days later, Emmett would be abducted from his Great-Uncle`shome, brutally beaten and murdered for one of the oldest Southern taboos:whistling at a white woman in public. This groundbreaking film shows unprecedented accounts by first-hand witnesses, many speaking out for thefirst time, and the discovery of potentially guilty parties still living and liable for prosecution.
