There are two versions, both produced by Otmoor Productions.[1] The first version was 57 minutes long and aired in 1996 by HBO. The second version, which was 74 minutes long, contained additional interview material, most notably with the witness Veronica Jones, an ex-prostitute. This longer version was not executive-produced by HBO. It was released in a small number of US cinemas and on DVD, first through FoxLorber and in 2008 through Docurama Films/New Video Group.[2] SynopsisThe film is a documentary covering the trial and case of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a journalist convicted in 1982 of the murder of a Philadelphia police officer and sentenced to death. He has written commentaries and a book while on death row.[3] HBO aired it in collaboration with Court TV, which followed it with a discussion about the film and case by a panel.[3] ReceptionThe New York Times said the documentary constructed a strong case for there being reasonable doubt that Abu-Jamal got justice in his trial. It noted issues of race and a history of police corruption in Philadelphia, combined with numerous pro-prosecutor rulings by the judge.[3]Awards
