Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Steineded How sad is this?

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

CDragon27 I thought the documentary would be a dry, factual restating of the case. I was wrong. It pulsed with life, in the words of Mumia Abu Jamal, and in the many people who spoke from their hearts about the man, his case, and his effect on their lives. I learned more about the hidden history of this country. worth seeing and sharing. The fact that anyone, especially someone convicted on such flimsy and suspect evidence has been left in solitary is obscene. The way that Mr. Abu Jamal has not only retained his humanity, but is using his words to reach out and make a positive change in the world, is a lesson for us all. I was fortunate enough to also hear from the director of this powerful documentary, and his journey to gain access, and to bring this story to the world, also should be noted.

Bob Ab All I literally watch are documentaries.... besides a small handful of other shows, Sanford & Son, King Of Queens, Breaking Bad etc. I know a thing or two about documentaries, and I must say Long Distance Revolutionary is one of my favorites! It's obvious that time and organization went into the making of the film. It boggles my mind, and is beyond ridiculous that the ratings would be as low as they currently are. It seems like a concerted effort was made on behalf of the Anti-Mumia camp to "low-vote" this film. Disregard the reviews and decide for yourself if it's your cup of tea or not. 10/10 in my opinion. For the anti-mumia crowd, who naively believes the "official story", remember.... The Best Indicator of A Future Behavior, Is A Past Behavior. There have political prisoners in the past, and will be more in the future. Cointelpro is NOT a conspiracy theory. Use your better judgement, and look outside of the box.

glm1917 Although i thought I knew a lot about the case of Mumia Abu-jamal, i knew that he was innocent. I knew that he was framed by the DA, mayor and the Philadelphia police department. I knew that his trial was a travesty with the judge a member of the FOP and quoted having made racist statements about Mumia. I knew that witnesses had been threatened and coerced. Like i said, I knew a lot. I knew he was innocent and that someone else even confessed to the crime. I learned a great deal about the man Mumia and not just the political figure. Mumia's brilliance and insight has flowered behind prison walls and through tremendous disadvantage. I thank the director, Stephen Vittoria for his sensitive work in taking on this controversial story. I have seen it in theaters and own the DVD.

eduthie The film presents the soul of Mumia against the backdrop of the city of brotherly love (Philadelphia) during a time of bigotry and violence against people of color. It examines how Mumia evolves into a warrior for justice rather than seeking to retry the crime in the media. It is a fascinating snapshot into an era that we think of being in the distant past and it is shocking to realize how close it still is. This is the story of a man who refuses to allow adversity to silence his voice. And it is the story of others who bear witness to his message. The message is especially relevant today with the emergence of racism in the form of voter rights acts that seek to once again suppress the voice of minorities. It is an absorbing story.... you really should see it.
