Come along to the special screening of UCL premiere of In Prison my Whole Life

This film follows 25 year old William Francome’s investigation into the arrest of Mumia Abu Jamal, famed death-row prisoner and award-winning Black Panther journalist. Francome, born on the day of Mumia’s 1981 arrest, engages intellectuals, writers and musicians in an effort to expose the truth about justice in America for black activists in general and Mumia in particular. The energetic, poetic and deeply moving interviews of Alice Walker, Noam Chomsky, Mos Def, Snoop Dogg and Steve Earle raise questions about the repercussions and damage of racial injustice not only to those targeted, but to the American culture itself. And most pointedly the film asks, what does it signify that Americans are still determined to put to death potential leaders and powerful political voices of the African-American culture?

Following the UCL premiere of the film there will be a questions and answers session with Will Francome (the narrator and protagonist of the film) and Kim Manning Cooper ( Anti death penalty team - Amnesty International) followed by a drinks reception for all who come!
