Framing an Execution - The Media and Mumia Abu-Jamal
On March 27th, 2008 the Third Circuit Court of Appeals failed in its supposed mission of providing justice by continuing the blatantly racist judicial decisions disallowing a new trial for Mumia Abu-Jamal. In addition, its decision enables the prosecution to push for the death penalty. The International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal are calling on everyone to put the pressure back in the streets demanding justice for Mumia, who has been in jail for 25 years for murder based on a police frame up and racist trial. Amongst other crimes, this trial excluded Black jurors, allowed falsified evidence and witnesses tampering by a Philadelphia police department federally indicted for corruption. Come see for yourself how the media has played a role in Mumia's frame up in the press and on television. Narrated by Danny Glover, this 49 minute dvd analyzes and critiques that media coverage. Join in the post-film discussion on the latest developments in the case and what action we need to take to increase the heat!
