Mumia : long distance revolutionary

Contributor
Summary
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, Mumia is not only still alive but continuing to report, provoke and inspire. Mumia: long distance revolutionary 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, Angela Davis and others, this riveting film explores Mumia's life before, during and after death row - revealing, in the words of Angela Davis, "the most eloquent and most powerful opponent of the death penalty in the world ... the 21st Century Frederick Douglass." Featuring the song "Society" sung by Eddie Vedder
