Directed by Chinonye Chukwu, "Till" is set to be released in UK cinemas on 13 January 2023 and tells the true story of Mamie Till-Mobley's relentless pursuit of justice for her 14-year-old son, Emmett Till, who was abhorrently lynched while visiting his cousins in Mississippi in 1955. This emotional and gripping film depicts Mamie's reluctant activism, which became a significant catalyst for the US Civil Rights movement. Mamie is played by Danielle Deadwyler, while the cast also includes Haley Bennett and Whoopi Goldberg.
