CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Ben Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on October 27th, 2022, reviewing “Till,” a narrative re-telling of the Emmett Till civil rights incident from 1955, in wide release beginning October 28th.
Emmett Till (Jalyn Hall) was a happy-go-lucky teenager in the somewhat protected black belt of Chicago in 1955, raised by his mother Mamie (Danielle Deadwyler and grandmother Alma (Whoopi Goldberg). When Emmett takes a trip to Money, Mississippi, he is warned about their harsh treatment of blacks in the Jim Crow South, yet he can’t help but “wolf whistle” at a white woman store clerk. He is kidnapped by an angry white mob, shot and killed, and dumped in nearby river. When Mamie claims his body, she decides to show the world his bloated corpse to emphasize what they did, igniting worldwide outrage.
