Beauchamp's extraordinary film, THE UNTOLD STORY
OF EMMETT LOUIS TILL is the culmination of a 10-year
investigation to uncover the details behind the nightmarish
1955 Mississippi murder of Emmett Louis Till,
an African-American Chicago teenager. Till's murder
was a major impetus for America's civil rights movement,
and Beauchamp's story has led to a national effort to
investigate new evidence and witnesses to the murder.
The brutal slaying of Till in Money, Mississippi was
followed by a sham trial that helped spark America's
civil rights movement. For allegedly whistling at a
white woman in public, young Till was tortured,beaten
beyond recognition,and thrown into the Tallahatchie
River. Fifty years later, Beauchamp has reconstructed
the case and found that responsibility for the murder
extends beyond the two "good ol' boys" who
were acquitted by an all-white jury. In addition to
remarkable testimony from Emmett's mother, Mamie Till
Mobley, (2ho died in 2003,) Beauchamp interviews eyewitnesses
who's stories have never been told, and discovers potentially
guilty parties still living and liable for prosecution.
This groundbreaking film vividly recalls a nightmarish,
though recent era and has already had a tangible impact:
on Monday, May 10, 2004, the U.S. Justice Department
reopened the infamous case as a result
of Beauchamp's revelations--a few months shy of the
50th Anniversary of the murder on August 28, 1955.
The
film is not just about history, it has made
history.
