New Documentary Film Focuses on Mumia's Innocence:


Manufacturing Guilt


How Philadelphia's Police and DA actively manufactured Mumia's guilt, and suppressed his innocence


A short film by Stephen Vittoria, writer/director of "Mumia - Long Distance Revolutionary,"

with Rachel Wolkenstein, lawyer for Mumia, and legal consultant on this film.  

Co-produced by Noelle Hanrahan of Prison Radio.


"Manufacturing Guilt" is a riveting narrative description, with graphics, of how Mumia was framed and sent to death row for a crime he didn't commit.


“’Manufacturing Guilt’ highlights truth. Everybody who has a heart for justice, passion for truth, and concern for the innocent should see this film.”  -Keith Cook (Mumia’s eldest brother)


“’Manufacturing Guilt’ is a chilling and vital inside view of what happened to my beloved father Mumia Abu-Jamal on that forsaken night that forever changed his life—and ours." -Jamal Hart (Mumia’s oldest son)
