I grew up in Mississippi and have always heard about the murder of Emmett Till. This movie made it real especially since it showed the love of a mother for her son. As a mother I can imagine the hurt that mother felt. I commend the mother for the courage to want the world to know what was done to her innocent child. This movie is a must see for all. It shows how far blacks have come, yet it reminded me that there is still hate based upon skin color.
