How did you feel while viewing the documentary, how do you feel now, what are your personal thoughts about the Emmett Till Story

sveta [45]

Answer: While viewing this documentary I went through such emotions. I felt furious, crushed, hateful, damaged, and wounded. This documentary was very challenging and difficult to watch. Although, I have heard about this story from my family before, by hearing it once more. I was crushed all over again. Personally, I felt like the violence act that took place was unfair and there should have been more justice. It is cruel to treat a human being like this. Where is the remorse? What caught my attention the most in the documentary was how it was built on racial discrimination.
