100Required viewing for anyone interested in the struggle for American racial equality.
-
90There is no denying the emotional impact of the story, which is powerfully conveyed in this important, deeply moving documentary.
-
80Because federal indictments for conspiracy to murder have yet to be handed down, the documentary is necessarily discreet about naming names and detailing its evidence. A sequel would go a long way toward solving the documentary's many unanswered questions.
-
60Beauchamp reconstructs the actual crime with disturbing immediacy, and his treatment of how Till's death galvanized a country makes this short film a good way to commemorate the 50th anniversary of a crime that still has the power to outrage.
