Movie #1513 "My Nephew Emmett" --- by the title I guessed what the story would be about, Emmett Till. But oh my gosh, so slow getting into the story --- this is an example of a film where all the action is in the last 2 or 3 minutes. For that reason, I didn't think it was as effective as the 4 other ones. But the last 2 or 3 minutes are very, very scary and powerful! I would give this 3.5 out of 5 stars. I think there are some better films on this very famous african american boy and his tragic story.
"MY NEPHEW EMMETT"
