His death captivated the world and kicked off the modern American Civil Rights Movement. On August 28, 1955, Emmett Till was only fourteen years old when he was kidnapped and brutally lynched. However, the story we think we know was a cover-up... a conspiracy to hide the truth.

 

Executive produced by Emmy-winning filmmaker Loki Mulholland ("The Uncomfortable Truth", "The Evers") and renowned actor Gregory Alan Williams ("Remember the Titans", "Green Leaf"), "Emmett Till: White Lies, Black Death" journeys into the Deep South and across the country with Pulitzer-nominated investigative reporter, Jerry Mitchell, to reveal the truth behind the lies.
