The first trailer for Till, Clemency director Chinonye Chukwu’s movie about the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till, shows his mother Mamie Till Mobley warning her son about danger during his life, and then fighting for justice after his murder.
“The lynching of my son has shown me that what happens to any of us, anywhere in the world, had better be the business of us all,” Till’s mother, played by The Harder They Fall’s Danielle Deadwyler, says at one point in the trailer.
Chukwu’s feature will also have a world premiere at the New York Film Festival on its opening weekend, with the film’s cast and producers at the launch.
Till, set for a release by MGM’s Orion Pictures to select theaters on Oct. 14, followed by a nationwide release on Oct. 28, covers Mobley’s insistence on an open casket funeral, which became a galvanizing moment that helped lead to the creation of the civil rights movement.
