[REBROADCAST FROM October 18, 2022] In the summer of 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till was brutally murdered while visiting his cousins in Mississippi for allegedly offending a white woman. A new film, "Till," focuses on his mother Mamie Till-Mobley's dogged pursuit for justice for her son and for the country to reckon with its racism. Director Chinonye Chukwu, who was nominated for best director at the NAACP Image Awards, joins to discuss the film.
