Saw this recently. Excellent film shedding light on an important event in our country's history. Had no idea how huge of an event this was in 1955, but it went "viral" before that term was used. Very tragic, infuriating, and difficult to watch at times. The performances were outstanding and I expect Danielle Deadwyler to at least get nominated for best actress for her portrayal of Till's mom.
