"In Prison My Whole Life" USA 2007, 90 Min, OmU R.: Marc Evans

The film explores the life of imprisoned journalist and political activist Mumia Abu-Jamal, and his years on death row. The title refers to Abu-Jamal having been arrested and jailed in December 1981, on the day William Francome was born. He has been in prison ever since his conviction in 1982. His death sentence for killing a police officer was overturned in 2001 due to constitutional problems with the penalty phase of his original 1982 sentencing hearing. The film investigates United States civil rights history and its justice system through Jamal's court case.
