This was a superbly made drama with a superbly ensemble cast who acted outstandingly! Adrienne Warren as Mamie Till Mobley played her role with deep emotional sensitivity and power; and you truly felt her pain throughout!
I was 9 months old when this horrific, barbaric racist murder was committed, by 2 white trash southern united states morons, and now at 67 I was heartbroken and given over to tears; as I tried to comprehend how full grown men could do this to a 14 year old child.
This is a drama that should become part of American history lessons in schools, to show the proof of what many southern rednecks in America did and still do. The justice system is still abused and stacked against people of colour in the USA; much of it being done by law enforcement Klu Klux Kops.
America try's to cover this sort of thing up, so its good to see these racist true life events, of racial brutality, being aired to the nation and the world. Its a powerful and disturbing drama (though it does not show, or tell, the real brutally horrific horror of what happened to the 14 year old Emmet Till) that will open eyes!
