The filmmaker's heart is in the right place, but some of the images in this film have no relation to the story. Why a picture of a prisoner at Abu Ghraib to illustrate a line about Emmett Till's torture? Why the chalk outline on a sidewalk when Emmett Till's body was pulled from the river? And why the string around the finger picture that looks like a Hallmark card? The Emmett Till story is very powerful; these images detract.

Of course you're right with that. I don't spend much time with the videos and I couldn't find more pictures which are related to his story.

So I put some pictures related to violence in general to the video.

The string around the finger is just a funny picture which belongs to the line "This song is just a reminder".

Of course a professional director can do this much better.

Stories like this are all too common in our history. The worst thing about it today is that our kids are being taught that these things are history, the truth is that while the actions are not as prevalant the feelings are still there. We must address it head on and be not afraid to come face to face with the beast in order to kill it once and for all. Please, educate your children on the feelings that lead to this kind of hate, then we can put a dent in our racist society.

Thanks for NOT writing another stupid comment ;-)

I have a sick feeling in my stomach. My eyes are heavy. This story is the single most terrible thing i have ever known to happen to a child. Disgusting.

Man, all those horrible things they did to him just for doing one little thing:

Whistling at a white girl, and what happens?

They not only murder him but doggone it they tear him apart!

Man his mom sure did want the whole world to know about what

happened to her son. Only 14? Dang those cruel men -_-

sad story

[grickard319582010]

This story is so sad and powerful, even though Emmett Till's murder occurred  55 years ago. Emmett Till would have been 69 years old now if he were still living. The two alleged killers are now dead (and in HELL, I hope!) and Carolyn Bryant is living in seclusion in Mississippi. I hope Ms. Bryant 'sees the light' and shows regret and remorse for her part in the horrible murder and mutilation of a 14-year-old boy before she passes on or else she may also wind up in HELL!

I am going to be honest, I had just watching the autobiography of Malcolm X then clicking on related videos where I came across a story if Emmett Till which I knew nothing of until I heard this song, & honestly as a none American, the US History has made me even more not wanting to ever travel to some parts of its states such as Mississippi, Alabama, Texas etc, I've heard that racism still exist in those prts of the US & as a non american black female it disgust me & tremendously disappointed.
