I saw this film last night about the murder of Emmett Till, a 14 year old Black boy from Chicago, who was lynched and murdered while visiting family in Mississippi in the 50s, and his death sent shock waves through the Black community (and, one hopes, the white community too) and had a deep impact on the Civil Rights Movement. The perpetrators were found not guilty, but sold their story a few months later and admitted it but were protected by the Double Jeopardy laws. His 'crime' was flirting with a white shop assistant. I'm still reeling from it. It's a very, very powerful film and I was almost in tears. Highly recommended, but it's not for the faint hearted.
Has anyone else seen it?
