Whoopi Goldberg on Till: 'This could be anybody’s child'

Goldberg produces and stars in the true tale of the lynching of a black child in 1955, a story that never found favour with film studios until the George Floyd killing changed the mood among the public in the US 

Whoopi Goldberg stars in Till, the story of the death of Emmett Till, whose brutal lynching was a turning point in America's civil-rights history

Last year American president Joe Biden signed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act into law, meaning that as of March 29, 2022, lynching became a federal hate crime.

And while the story brought to the big screen by writer-director Chinonye Chukwu in biographical drama Till took place in 1955, its resonance and impact is more important than ever.
