About ‘Women of the Movement’

The new six-episode scripted series tells the story of Mamie Till-Mobley (Adrienne Warren), who risks her life to find justice after her son Emmett (Cedric Joe) is brutally murdered in the Jim Crow South in 1955. Mamie turns into an activist, refusing to let the news of Emmett’s murder disappear from the headlines. Instead, she bears her pain in front of the world which subsequently ignites the Civil Rights movement as what it has come to be known today.

Inspired by Devery S. Anderson’s book, Emmett Till: The Murder That Shocked the World and Propelled the Civil Rights Movement, the series will also star Glynn Turman, Chris Coy, Julia McDermott, Carter Jenkins, Tonya Pinkins, Ray Fisher and Timothy Hutton.

Due to the serious and potentially triggering content, ABC has released this statement, “While we feel this show is an important story to tell, we recognize that the events depicted in the show may be challenging to watch for some viewers.” The network then listed resources like The Crisis Text Line.
