SUMMARY:Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join WorldBeat Center on December 21st from 6-8:30pm for a night of political education on the lessons we can learn from the Black prison movement. We will screen Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary and discuss and answer questions. \nAbout the film \nBefore 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 feature documentary 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.
