While I knew the history of Emmett Till, watching the experience of his mother Mamie Till-Mobley, brings a different type of depth. A depth that is both racial and so much more then that.

TILL is truly a story of a mother’s love and courage, while dealing with the death of her son.

Note: I was invited as media for movie screening. However any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

I had the chance to screen the film and was so impressed that it wasn't just another "racial history" story. Director Chinonye Chukwu understood the assignment of telling a story of "spirit" and how that story can touch anyone beyond racial limits.

So I want to encourage my readers to see the film for themselves. No matter your racial background, the story of Mamie Till-Mobley will stay with you.

TILL is Now Playing in Select Theaters and soon Everywhere on October 28

3 Reasons to See Till Film

---

Feeling a "Mother's" Love

The film TILL shows the lifestyle of Emmett Till and his mom Mamie. A peek into moments during their day to day to life. Moments of laughter, preparing for a trip to visit family and even "reminder" between them. As any mother would do with her child.

It's a lifestyle that any parent could can relate to, no matter their race or background.

While race did bring a separation in how Emmett is treated in society, there is no separation when a parent has to grieve the death of their child. That type of grief is felt by all and transcends everything.

There's a moment when Mamie describes how she knew her son and truly it's a moment all parents, especially mothers will felt down to their souls.

It's that parentally connection, that mothers love, that touched that nation back then and will touch the views now. No matter race or background.

A Look at the Larger Story

The media coverage of Emmett Till death brought national attention to the issues facing the community (black, white, other), and helped put into motion activism and changes that affect us today.

Viewers get to see how local grass roots movements can have powerful impacts national and worldwide.

A Story of Community and Inspiration

Mamie Till-Mobley grief was something felt by the community and inspired them to movement. Movement that supported her in telling her story and giving her grief a focus.
