Published: Friday 21st Oct 2022 by Sam

The story of Emmett Till is one that continues to resonate almost 70 years on.

And with the arrival of the powerful new film ‘Till,’ it’s a narrative that will undoubtedly move the masses even more.

The MGM production chronicles the never-before-told story of Mamie Till-Mobley and her quest for justice after her teen son, Emmett, was brutally murdered in a racist attack. 

Directed by Chinonye Chukwu, ‘Till’ received its UK premiere at the BFI London Film Festival 2022 and was selected to central focus of the Mayor of London Gala.

That Grape Juice was on-hand at the launch and caught up with Danielle Deadwyler (who plays Mamie) and Jalyn Hall (Emmett), as well Tosin Cole and Chukwu. All of whom spoke to the necessity of the story, the change they hope it will spark, and the early Oscar buzz arounf the film.

TGJ’s Samuel Eni also had the honor of talking with Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who also gushed about the potency of ‘Till.’
