It&#8217;s an excellent and artfully made film. Watching is an act of justice and humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cast includes Angela Davis, Cornel West, Dick Gregory, Alice Walker, Amy Goodman, and Rubin &#8220;Hurricane&#8221; Carter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The state would rather give me an uzi than a microphone.&#8221; \u2013 Mumia Abu-Jamal&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/928205898215000\/?acontext=%7B%22ref%22%3A%2252%22%2C%22action_history%22%3A%22%5b%7B%5C%22surface%5C%22%3A%5C%22share_link%5C%22%2C%5C%22mechanism%5C%22%3A%5C%22share_link%5C%22%2C%5C%22extra_data%5C%22%3A%7B%5C%22invite_link_id%5C%22%3A1336960800481576%7D%7D%5d%22%7D\">&#8220;LONG DISTANCE REVOLUTIONARY&#8221; Film about Mumia Abu-Jamal ~ Online Event | Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.
