Women of the Movement
One of Rotten Tomatoes’ Most Anticipated Shows of 2022, Women of the Movement tells the true story of Mamie Till-Mobley (Adrienne Warren), who devoted her life to seeking justice for her son Emmett Till (Cedric Joe from Space Jam: A New Legacy) following his brutal murder in 1955 in the Jim Crow South.
Saturn Award nominee Tonya Pinkins co-stars, alongside the likes of Ray Fisher (True Detective, Justice League) and Emmy winner Glynn Turman (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Fargo, In Treatment).
Created and written by Emmy nominee Marissa Jo Cerar (The Fosters, The Handmaid’s Tale), with four women directors – Black Reel Award winners Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Secret Life of Bees, Beyond the Lights, and the forthcoming The Woman King) and Tina Mabry (Queen Sugar, Pose, Insecure), and Black Reel Award nominees Kasi Lemmons (Harriet) and Julie Dash (The Rosa Parks Story) – the show’s executive producers include Will Smith and Jay-Z.
The six-part series has a 91% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the critics consensus saying, “Women of the Movement enlivens the tragedy of Emmett Till with solid storytelling and a deeply moving pair of performances by Adrienne Warren and Cedric Joe.”
