The case of Mumia Abu Jamal has become a global symbol of inequities in the U.S. judicial system. This film examines how ABC reporter Sam Donaldson's framing of the case stands up to the available facts and how it measures up to basic journalistic standards of fairness, balance and accuracy.

Pre-screening commentary by Merle Woo of the Freedom Socialist Party and Mobilization to Free Mumia Abu Jamal
