Trailer
Why watch this film?
Starring the outstanding Alfre Woodard ('12 Years a Slave', 'True Detective') - who gives one of the best performances of the year and of her career - this intense drama tackles the serious issue of mass incarceration and racial discrimination in the United States (exposed in the documentary '13th Amendment'), as well as the complicated ethical, moral, and philosophical debates surrounding the death penalty, practiced in various states of that country. The film won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival - making its director, Nigerian-American Chinonye Chukwu, the first black woman to win the prize - and features an excellent cast completed by Wendell Pierce ('Malcolm X', 'Selma'), Aldis Hodge ('Hidden Figures') and Richard Schiff ('Man of Steel').

Till
Emmett Louis Till was an African-American boy, the only child of Mamie Till, who was visiting cousins and uncles in Money, a small town in the southern United States in Mississippi. Everything was going well until the boy entered a lunchroom run by whites and talked (I repeat, talked!) to the owner. This was the reason for the woman's husband to do what was allowed in the United States until 2022: lynching. Emmett Louis Till died, absolutely disfigured and abandoned in a river. This is the story of 'Till,' a drama directed by Chinonye Chukwu ('Alaskaland'), which talks about Emmett's death and subsequently, his mother's (Danielle Deadwyler, of 'Vengeance & Punishment') struggle to convict her son's killers and assert the rights of minorities in the southern United States. It is a strong movie, which despite relying on old stereotypes of African-American cinema, makes us think, suffer, and reflect. It's hard to hold back the tears with Deadwyler's excellent performance, unjustly snubbed at the 2023 Oscars.
