10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
Based on a true story. In 1955, 14 year old Emmett Till travels from his home in Chicago to visit family in Mississippi. Growing up in Chicago, he was largely isolated from the intense racism of the South. As an African American teen, he is unprepared for the vastly different social norms of 1950's rural Mississippi. He encounters a Caucasian woman in a store, and while historical retellings differ, he apparently insulted her. Some say it was harmless flirtation, some say it was a speech impediment she misinterpreted. Her husband and a friend kidnap, torture, and murder Emmett. Both are arrested and tried, but the all white jury refuses to convict.
