SYNOPSIS:
One actor, MIKE WILEY performs all 20 roles in MONEY 1955, reenacting in striking historic detail the pivotal moments and players of the Emmett Till murder trial. The film is crafted from court transcripts and adapted from Mike Wiley’s critically acclaimed one-man play, Dar He: The Story of Emmett Till.

In MONEY 1955, international press descend on a remote Tallahatchie County, Mississippi courthouse and draw the world’s attention to the murder trial of two white men accused of the horrific lynching of a 14-year old black boy from Chicago named Emmett Till.

The prosecutor’s key witness is the boy’s uncle, Mose Wright: he answered the knock the night men had abducted Emmett. But to finger them publicly in an all-white Mississippi courtroom was suicide; Mose must decide to remain silent or make the ultimate sacrifice…
