Yesterday night I saw a documentary called “In Prison My Whole Life.” This documentary covers the unfair imprisonment of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther Party activist, a real journalist, and civil right fighter. He was falsely accused of killing a cop and put in jail on December 9, 1981. Today marks 27 years of that event.
He is only allowed three fifteen-minute phone calls a week, and he uses that time to report about life (or hell) in prison. Democracy Now is one of the few radio stations that broadcasts him. He also wrote an amazing book called: “Live From Dead Row.” For current info about him, visit the Abu-Jamal News site.

Sounds quite interesting. I'll have to check the local listings for show times.
I saw it on Sundance Channel and it is playing again on Wednesday, December 17. Here is the link
Thanks for spreading the word and adding the link to our website Abu-Jamal-News.com... Co-founder Michael Schiffmann is featured in the film along with Pedro Polakoff.
Free Mumia and all political prisoners!
Great job Hans!
