'Till' arrives at a moment when Emmett Till’s story seems to be everywhere. There’s a reason why
which goes into wide release Oct. 28.
“Some people have already told me, ‘Oh, it’s overkill with Emmett,’” says Devery Anderson, author of the 2015 book, on which much of the January miniseries was based. “Someone told me, ‘Do we need a statue? Because they have theand we have plaques out and a road named after him. Do you need a statue too?’ And I said, it’s not overkill by any stretch of the imagination. It’s taken a lot to get people to listen and wake up to the extent that they have.
Storytellers have, for years, taken bits and pieces of the Till story and included it in their narratives, says Keith Beauchamp, who served as a co-writer and producer of, the feature film, as well as director of that 2005 documentary, on which he worked closely with Till-Mobley before her death in 2003.
“As Black people, our stories are still deemed controversial in many ways,” says Beauchamp, who notes that other non-white Americans experience something similar with regularity too.
