Miniseries debuts January 6 on ABC
With six episodes spread across three consecutive Thursdays, this ABC limited series recounts the true story of Mamie Till-Mobley (played by Tony-winner Adrienne Warren) and her quest for justice after the lynching of her 14-year-old son Emmett Till in Mississippi in 1955. Her actions helped kickstart America's civil rights movement. The cast also includes Tonya Pinkins, Cedric Joe, Ray Fisher, Glynn Turman, Chris Coy, Carter Jenkins, and Julia McDermott, while directors include Kasi Lemmons and Gina Prince-Bythewood (and producers include Jay Z and Will Smith). Devery S. Anderson's book on Emmett Till serves as the source material for the miniseries, and the plan is for Women of the Movement to eventually become an anthology series with future installments chronicling later events in the movement.
Airing immediately following each episode of Movement on ABC is Let the World See, a three-part documentary companion series from producers Jay Z and Will Smith that takes a nonfiction approach to the same subject matter.
