Prison movie is premiered
A HARD-hitting new documentary on the case of US death row prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal will premiere in Edinburgh today.
The feature-length In Prison My Whole Life examines the controversial case of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther Party activist who has been in prison for murder in the United States since 1981, much of that time facing execution, and is showing at the Cameo cinema, with support from Amnesty International.
Mumia Abu-Jamal's original trial was unfair and in violation of international standards.
Supporting the event, Amnesty International Scottish Programme Director John Watson said:
"We've repeatedly drawn attention to Mumia Abu-Jamal's plight and we strongly welcome this film as a fresh opportunity to focus attention on his current situation."
