Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Before he was convicted of murdering a policeman in 1981 and sentenced to die, Mumia Abu- Jamal was a gifted journalist and brilliant writer. Now after more than 30 years in prison and despite attempts to silence him, Mumia is not only still alive but continuing to report, educate, provoke and inspire. Stephen Vittoria's new film is an inspiring portrait of a man whom many consider America's most famous political prisoner - a man whose existence tests our beliefs about freedom of expression. Through prison interviews, archival footage, and dramatic readings, and aided by a potent chorus of voices including Cornel West, Alice Walker, Dick Gregory, Angela Davis, Amy Goodman and others, this riveting film explores Mumia's life before, during and after Death Row. Dir: Stephen Vittoria. 2013. Digital. 120 mins.
