Till (2022) is a poignant historical drama that tells the story of Mamie Till-Mobley’s relentless pursuit of justice for her son, Emmett Till, who was brutally lynched in Mississippi in 1955. The film, directed by Chinonye Chukwu, delves into the harrowing impact of racial violence while highlighting Mamie's resilience as she courageously transforms her personal tragedy into a national catalyst for change. It sensitively portrays the heartbreak and activism that arose from Emmett Till’s murder, bringing this pivotal moment in American civil rights history to the forefront with powerful performances and a narrative that emphasizes both historical accuracy and emotional depth.

The soundtrack of Till, composed by Abel Korzeniowski, is an evocative blend of orchestral pieces that mirror the film’s emotional gravity and historical significance. The music underscores the film’s themes of grief, hope, and defiance, using strings and piano to convey Mamie’s sorrow and inner strength. Korzeniowski’s score enriches the viewing experience by complementing the narrative’s intensity, and it resonates with a haunting beauty that lingers long after the film concludes.
