December 07, (THEWILL) – Jay-Z and Will Smith are collaborating on a new ABC docuseries set to premiere on January 6, 2022.
The three-part series titled ‘Let The World See’ will x-ray the story of Mamie Till-Mobley’s difficult torturous path to getting justice for her 14-year-old African American son, Emmett Till, who was lynched to death.
The project will be ABC’s second contribution to the Till family after another limited series ‘Women of the Movement’, which will also debut on January 6.
According to available information, the special limited docuseries will also focus on the civil rights movement that followed after Till-Mobley stood up for her son after his gruesome murder in 1955.
“’Let The World See’ is a fresh and deep examination of Ms. Mamie Till-Mobley’s fight to bring her son’s body home to Chicago and her pivotal yet heartbreaking decision to have an open-casket funeral for the public to see, which ultimately served as a turning point for the civil rights movement,” ABC stated.
The series, which has Jay-Z as the executive producer and Will Smith as producer through his Westbrook studios, will feature real accounts from Till’s family including interviews with his cousins, a witness of the abduction, activists, FBI agents, lawyers, and more.
Grammy-nominated producer, Salaam Remi, will compose an original soundtrack that will be played over interviews, footage, and other features of the series.
