DESCRIPTION:A film by Stephen Vittoria\n\nMumia Long Distance Revolutionary\n\nA 
 Journey with Mumia Abu-Jamal\n\nThrough prison interviews, archival 
 footage, dramatic readings, as well as a potent chorus of voices, this 
 riveting film explores Mumia's life before, during and after Death Row.\n\n 
 \n\nMumia Abu-Jamal is an internationally celebrated writer and radio 
 journalist
who has devoted his life both inside and outside prison to 
 resistance media.\n\nHe is the author of eight books and hundreds of 
 columns, articles, and radio broadcasts; an organizer and inspiration for 
 the prison lawyers movement where prisoners dedicate time to helping fellow 
 prisoners; former member of the Black Panther Party and supporter of 
 Philadelphia’s MOVE organization of the 1970s (which advocated green 
 politics, expressed its opposition to technology and zoos, and supported 
 animal rights). Mumia was framed for the death in 1981 of Philadelphia 
 policeman, Daniel Faulkner, and has spent more than 30 years in prison, 
 almost all of it in solitary confinement on Pennsylvania’s Death Row.\n\n 
 \n\nMumia Long Distance Revolutionary is a powerful documentary that 
 includes the story of the Philadelphia police crackdown of the MOVE 
 organization in the late 70s. You can make your own connections between 
 that event and more recent events in Ferguson, MO and elsewhere. Frank 
 Rizzo, Chief of Police, in Philadelphia at the time of the confrontations 
 was quoted as saying, “The police department in Philadelphia could invade 
 Cuba and win” and\n\n“What I'm saying is that we are now trained and 
 equipped to fight wars.”\n \n\n“He is Mumia Abu-Jamal on Death Row. No 
 parole. Speaking from the depths of his soul, depths of his heart, depths 
 of his mind of the sufferings of others, not even his own suffering, the 
 sufferings of others.” --Cornel West\n
