The Murder of Emmett Till
87
The 1955 murder of fourteen-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi and the sham trial that followed are examined through witnesses, family, and newly uncovered evidence.
Why watch: Nelson won both a Sundance jury prize and a directing Emmy. The case helped ignite the civil rights movement.
