Synopsis
Keith Beauchamp's groundbreaking film, THE UNTOLD STORY OF EMMETT LOUIS TILL shows 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 Moxie is only showing this film for two days, so make sure you don’t miss it.
