The Emmett Till movie conversation is going to have a lot of differing sides to it. While there are some who don't want to see a movie about a child who was brutally murdered, the film does not focus on the actual killing of Till, and is actually a movie that his family has been trying to get made for years. It focuses on the aftermath of Emmett's death, and who he was as a person through the words of his mother.
I promise it is not the 'black trauma' film people are thinking it is. And I completely understand WHY people would not want to see it but I just know there are many talking points that are going to come from this.
