Chicago-born Mamie Till tells the world what a culture of racial hatred had done to her only son, Emmett Till. In THIS WAS MY SON, award winning actor, MIKE WILEY, in one continuous long-take, channels the historic American Civil Rights heroine, Mamie Till, in a carefully crafted reenactment-a composite of late 1950s interviews. Mamie Till recounts the heart rending role she played in identifying the body of her only son, Emmett Till, after he had been mutilated and lynched for whistling at a white woman in Money, Mississippi in 1955. She speaks to the choices she made that helped ignite and then fuel the Civil Rights movement in America. Mamie would go on to spend the rest of her life championing the cause and continuing to tell her cautionary tale of the effects of racial hatred and bigotry. S
