SUFF Long Distance Revolutionary

The Sydney Underground Film Festival is proud to present

LONG DISTANCE REVOLUTIONARY – A Journey with Mumia Abu-Jamal

The Australian premiere will screen at 2.00pm, Saturday 7 September, 2013. The location is Cinema Two, Factory Theatre in Marrickville.

This is a remarkable documentary and a moving story.

Former Black Panther party member, continuing activist, radio journalist and author, Mumia Abu-Jamal has spent 30 years in prison, 29 of them in solitary confinement on death row. He is often referred to as Pennsylvania’s most famous inmate and his trial and incarceration have garnered extensive media attention. Yet it is his life and revolutionary spirit that have connected with people the world over and commanded widespread international attention as he continues to promote his message from the depths of incarceration. In Long Distance Revolutionary, documentarian Stephen Vittoria focuses on Mumia Abu-Jamal’s career as a prolific writer and journalist. Guiding the audience behind the prison walls to expose the horrors of the American gulag, the film charts a journey that defines the triumph of hope, courage and love.
