The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till is a groundbreaking documentary that
led to the reopening of the historic murder case nearly 50 years later, in
2004.  Nine years in the making, the film uncovers the truth behind the
night of the 1955 murder of Emmett Louis Till, a 14 - year old Black
Chicago youth who went to the Mississippi Delta to visit relatives.
Told by Till's mother Mamie Till Mobley and never before seen testimonies
by eyewitnesses, Till was murdered for whistling at a white woman in
public. He was tortured and beaten beyond recognition, then thrown into the
Tallahatchie River. Although Till suffered and horrific death, he did not
die in vain, the murder became the catalyst that sparked the American Civil
Rights Movement.

Film will be followed by a Panel Discussion, meet the panelists below!
