Description

This explosive film reopens the case on America's most "celebrated" death row inmate, fearlessly exposing a broken justice system that has confined Mumia Abu-Jamal to prison for over 25 years. Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Case for Reasonable Doubt? dares to ask whether this radical journalist and Black Panther with no prior criminal record was treated fairly by the Philadelphia police and prosecutors for a murder he may not have committed. Biting, yet poetic, this powerful film blows gaping holes in the credibility of the case against Mumia while giving the man himself room to air his provocative political and social views. A film the authorities don't want you to see, Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Case for Reasonable Doubt? is an unforgettably searing indictment of the death penalty and a criminal justice system tinged with racism.

    I realize that our judicial system isn't the best and there are people on death row or in prison that are innocent and don't belong there. He isn't one of them.

  • Waste of time AND money.

    One this movie is horribly made. Two this movie was a waste of time to make because there is no room for doubt. I don't doubt him for one moment that he didn't kill that police officer. Because he did. This just proves that movie stars neec to butt out of this and stop trying to make other's think he's not guilty. PS Don't buy ben & jerry's ice cream anymore. They support him, and send money to him for lawyers.

  • compelling and provocative.......

    beyond reasonable doubt has not been established but convincingness of the moment has due to his skin color , intelligence and political affiliation, the latter of which supposedly gives credence to a 800 pg document detailing his movements since he was 15 yo.....Mumia was denied due process under law not only for adequate representation but even the right for self-representation....shoddy police work/amateurish forensics...witness tampering....officers of the court making a mockery of the process they're sworn to uphold......."seldom see the truth for what it is but many see the truth as they are"

  • good film

    Too much reasonable doubt. It's a shame that this man sits on death row for this long even though the whole world knows he's just in prison for being an outspoken black man. Funk the racist police and the unjust system that put him in prison.

  • FREE MUMIA!

    His continued imprisonment is an atrocity of justice. Subscribe to his podcast and continue to petition his release. (NOTE: I have not seen this movie)
