DESCRIPTION:The National Lawyers Guild and Prison Radio present two films on repression 
 and resistance:\n\nTHE BATTLE FOR OSCAR GRANT PLAZA is a short documentary 
 by Jacob Crawford about how the City of Oakland and its Police tried to 
 shut down the budding "Occupy Wall Street" movement, turning downtown 
 Oakland into a teargas filled war zone and injuring numerous people. Police 
 video obtained in discovery in the National Lawyers Guild's successful 
 lawsuit and interviews with activists and journalists about their 
 experiences, tell the real story of the disastrous Fall, 2011, police 
 actions that pushed the troubled OPD to the brink of federal receivership. 
 Co-produced by Dave Id, Indybay.org.\n\nMANUFACTURING GUILT is a short film 
 that appears as a Bonus Feature on our dvd MUMIA: LONG DISTANCE 
 REVOLUTIONARY (www.firstrunfeatures.com/mumiadvd.html). The short takes on 
 the colossus of Abu-Jamal's contentious case, distilling a mountain of 
 evidence and years of oft-repeated falsehoods to the most fundamental 
 elements of police and prosecutorial misconduct that illustrate a clear and 
 conscious effort to frame Mumia Abu-Jamal for the murder of patrolman 
 Daniel Faulkner. \n\nBased on the actual record of investigations and court 
 filings from 1995 to 2003 - evidence denied by the courts and ignored in 
 the press - MANUFACTURING GUILT cuts through the years of absurdities and 
 overt racism to produce a clear picture of how Abu-Jamal's guilt was 
 manufactured and his innocence suppressed beginning only moments after he 
 and Faulkner were found shot in the early morning hours of December 9th, 
 1981. This historic and courageous film is the perfect companion to Long 
 Distance Revolutionary - a film that is unequivocal in its force regarding 
 Abu-Jamal's innocence.\n\n"A chilling and vital inside view."--Jamal Hart 
 (Mumia's eldest son)\n\n"Terrific! Focuses on the actual crime, with lots 
 of specific information, going point by point over everything that is 
 known, including a journalist's photos of the crime scene (those are 
 amazing, by the way)... all of the questions I had (about the case) are 
 answered in the short. So be sure to watch."--Pop Culture 
 Beast\n\n\n\nSaturday, October 19, 3 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.\nThe New Parkway 
 Theater\n474 24th Street in Oakland\n\nTHE FILMS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY 
 DISCUSSION WITH ADAM & JERALYNN BLUEFORD, PARENTS OF ALAN BLUEFORD, AND 
 OTHERS.\n\n\n\nTICKETS $10 at the door or at
