In August, 1955, Mamie Till-Mobley of Chicago sent her only child, Emmett Louis Till, to visit relatives in the Mississippi Delta. Little did she know that only 8 days later, Emmett would be abducted from his Great-Uncle's home, brutally beaten and murdered for one of the oldest Southern taboos : whistling at a white woman in public. It was Beauchamp's nine years of investigation, summarized in the film, that was primarily responsible for the Justice Department reopening the case.MPAA rating: PG-13; for some disturbing images.DVD; stereo.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Documentary films.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Till, Emmett, 1941-1955.; African American teenage boys.; African Americans; African Americans; Victims of hate crimes;
