Danielle Deadwyler’s nuanced performance as the mother of Emmett Till, the black teenager murdered by southern racists, is the pivot of Chinonye Chukwu’s stirring real-life drama
n awards-worthy performance from Danielle Deadwyler lends a passionate heart to this solidly engrossing and still contemporary historical drama set in 1955 and dedicated “to the life and legacy of Mamie Till-Mobley”.
What follows is a stirring mix of courtroom drama, social activism and personal tragedy as Mamie decides: “I want America to bear witness” to the tortures inflicted on her child. In a bold move that pays dramatic dividends, Chukwu keeps the murder itself off-screen, focusing our attention instead on Mamie’s reactions, making her the centre of the story.
