The Barn Doesn’t Lie: how learning the truth of where Emmett Till was murdered can still heal
How a small town in the Deep South chooses to reconcile with its past is a harbinger for whether a nation can rediscover common cause for the sake of its future. The story of the murder of Emmett Till and the ensuing courage of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley sparked America’s modern day Civil Rights Movement. But the 2025 acquisition of the barn where Emmett was tortured and killed recalibrates the narrative for this century. What we do with this story next speaks volumes for where America is headed. Featuring Patrick Weems, Jessie Jaynes, and Willie Williams of the Emmett Till Interpretive Center, co-produced with Dr. David Domke. Released on November 23 to commemorate Mamie Till-Mobley's birthday and the purchase of “The Barn” thanks to a donation from Hollywood producer and writer Shonda Rhimes. Film and music by Hanson Hosein, more at www.wecrossthebridge.com
