Filmmaker Keith Beauchamp willed “Till” to the screen. He will reject being singled out for the success of the film, which had its premiere last weekend at the Alice Tully Hall as part of the New York Film Festival.
Knowing his sense of sharing and self-effacing, he will reject being singled out for the success of the film, which had its premiere last weekend at the Alice Tully Hall as part of the New York Film Festival. But ever since he produced and directed the documentary “The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till” in 2005, the result of ten years of dedication and research, a feature film on the life of the brutally lynched Till has been his dream.
Beauchamp’s documentary is the best guide on this tragic journey, but since the incident occurred in August 1955 it has been recounted numerous times in books, newspapers, and even in song, recalling Bob Dylan’s lament. Rosa Parks said she was thinking about Emmett when she made her bold move in Montgomery. But now the film is here and it’s a powerful depiction, replete with integrity and Chukwu’s intuitive sense of Mamie’s pain and loss.
Among the unknown things about the Till tragedy is the personal life of Mamie. This is done in sharp relief as other members of her family such as her mother portrayed by Goldberg, her father by the veteran actor Frankie Faison, are included in the drama. There is even cameo appearances of the legendary civil rights activists Medgar Evers and T.R.M Howard . A commanding performance is delivered by John Douglass Thompson as Moses Wright, Emmett’s great-uncle.
The trial of the accused was the next dramatic sequence and this too was told with care and sensitivity. With Beauchamp aboard there was no need to worry about accuracy; as Goldberg told the audience at the end of the film when she and Deadwyler and Chukwu discussed the film with the Festival executive director Eugene Hernandez, how crucial Beauchamp “was in making all of this possible.”
