Till chronicles Mamie Till-Mobley's relentless pursuit of truth after the 1955 lynching of her son Emmett Till in Mississippi. Confronted by racism, a hostile legal system, and national media scrutiny, she becomes a steadfast advocate for justice, forcing a reluctant nation to look at its own flaws. The film blends an intimate family portrait with a watershed historical moment, tracing grief, courage, and the emergence of a nationwide civil rights movement through restrained, powerful performances.
