DOC NYC: Films About the Left-Wing

October 01, 2012

This year, DOC NYC’s lineup features a film about the U.S.’s left.

LONG DISTANCE REVOLUTIONARY: A JOURNEY WITH MUMIA ABU-JAMAL Unlike any other film, book, or article produced about Mumia Abu-Jamal, LONG DISTANCE REVOLUTIONARY focuses on his career as a prolific author and broadcaster from Pennsylvania’s Death Row. This riveting film centers on the period after Mumia is convicted for the murder of Philadelphia patrolman Daniel Faulkner and exposes Mumia’s battles with the American court system to continue his work from prison—a battle he continues to wage to this very day.
