Long Distance Revolutionary: A Journey with Mumia Abu-Jamal (2013)

I love this movie so much

It is a performances centric movie

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I been following Mumia Abu Jamal's work for quite some time, I remember the first time I came across him on the net I was very excited I knew I found something and someone special after hearing a few of his speeches on-line. If you watch or read Mumia Abu Jamal's work you'll know very well he is a very eloquent man and is simply a man of integrity and liberty. I always look to him for opinion or analysis of Americas internal issues and find it a lot more logical and very clear compared to many mainstream sources today. I am very happy that a film like this is released for people to become aware of Mumia and realize he has been thrown/framed from the invisible to the physical prison because of the power behind his articulate words. This is a great film for those that want to know more of his personal life story full of struggle and sacrifices which either breaks or makes a man; indeed it has made Mumia more alive and free then many in the outside world today. This film depicts his life as a black panther and a journalist serving death-row to now life imprisonment. He writes and speaks on countless issues today receiving praise from many well known figures either of celebrity or academic status to even ordinary folks and if you want to know why then I recommend watching the film!

Long Distance Revolutionary is a brilliant and excellent film. It captures and focuses on Mumia as a human being and not on his frame-up case/trial that he has unfortunately faced from 32 years now. For anyone that is interested in understanding a radical/revolutionary activist who understands the many complexes of society and its people and institutions, this film is a MUST SEE! The film beautifully examines and explains the mind, the attitude, and work of a humble and loving man. Mumia Abu-Jamal also known as "the voice of the voiceless" is an extraordinary man with a life story that is remarkable and inspiring despite all his challenges and setbacks due to his wrongful incarceration. You want to experience Mumua Abu-Jamal for yourself, please make it your duty to watch and promote Long Distance Revolutionary: A Journey with Mumia Abu-Jamal.

All I literally watch are documentaries.... besides a small handful of other shows, Sanford & Son, King Of Queens, Breaking Bad etc. I know a thing or two about documentaries, and I must say Long Distance Revolutionary is one of my favorites! It's obvious that time and organization went into the making of the film. It boggles my mind, and is beyond ridiculous that the ratings would be as low as they currently are. It seems like a concerted effort was made on behalf of the Anti-Mumia camp to "low-vote" this film. Disregard the reviews and decide for yourself if it's your cup of tea or not. 10/10 in my opinion. For the anti-mumia crowd, who naively believes the "official story", remember.... The Best Indicator of A Future Behavior, Is A Past Behavior. There have political prisoners in the past, and will be more in the future. Cointelpro is NOT a conspiracy theory. Use your better judgement, and look outside of the box.

This film is a real eye opener. Mumia is a must see for every American. For those who already understand what lengths the government machine can and does go to in order to suppress revolutionary voices and actions, it adds fuel to the smoldering fire. To those who don't already understand, let's hope it is a small ray of sunshine piercing the elaborate red, white and blue smoke and mirror environment you have been brought up with and swallowed hook, line and sinker. Incredibly well researched and brilliantly executed by Stephen Vittoria, a documentary filmmaker at the very top of his game, Mumia is populated by a who's who of revolutionary thinkers who bring their thoughtful commentary to bear on this important subject. The subject of the film, Mumia Abu-Jamal, is nothing less than a universal thinker, philosopher and visionary. Mumia can extemporize and speak on virtually any subject or event without research or calculation at a higher and more thorough and profound level than most PHDs could if given a week in the central library to prepare to address a topic. Mumia thinks and speaks in an improvisational manner that can only be analogized to the riffs of jazz greats Coltrane, Davis and Monk. Don't miss it and watch it twice.
