  • "Justice on Trial: The Case of Mumia Abu Jamal"

  • Dec 5, 2010 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm
  • Location: The Downtown Independent Theater
  • Description: L.A. PREMIERE - ONE NIGHT ONLY! BIG NOISE FILMS’ "Justice on Trial: The Case of Mumia Abu Jamal" On Nov. 9 a Federal court in Philadelphia again took up the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal, journalist, author and former member of the Black Panther Party currently on death row. The results of that hearing, which will determine if Mumia is executed or gets life imprisonment, have not been decided YET. Attorney Robert Bryan says that Mumia is now "in the greatest danger since his 1981 arrest." Dec. 9 is the 29th anniversary of the night Mumia was accused of murdering a white policeman. He has always affirmed his innocence. This new film, "Justice on Trial: The Case of Mumia Abu-Jamal," fairly presents the arguments made by Mumia's supporters alongside the prosecution's arguments and interviews with others advocating Mumia's execution. The film's featured interviews include press photographer Pedro Polakoff, whose newly discovered crime scene photos expose police manipulation of evidence. L.A

Packed with exciting new interviews with Mumia's sister, Lydia Barashango, and journalist Linn Washington, the film presents the recently discovered evidence that totally challenges the prosecution's version of what happened on December 9, 1981, and thus exposes the lies perpetrated by the prosecution in collaboration with the police in their determination to kill Mumia. A panel discussion about the film and the new evidence of Mumia's innocence will follow the approximately one hour film. Producer JOHANNA FERNANDEZ will participate in that panel. The other panelists will be announced shortly. Because of limited space, we ask that you call 212 330-8029 and leave your n
