Till is a profoundly emotional film about the true story of Mamie Till Mobley and her relentless pursuit of justice for her 14-year-old son, Emmett Till, who was lynched while visiting his cousins in Mississippi in 1955. Through Mamie's poignant journey of grief turned to action, Till displays the universal power of a mother's ability to change the world.

Actor Jalyn Hall and writer and producer Keith Beauchamp will be presented with the Socially Conscious Cinema Award. A Q&A with Hall and Beauchamp immediately follows the screening.
