The film presents the soul of Mumia against the backdrop of the city of brotherly love (Philadelphia) during a time of bigotry and violence against people of color. It examines how Mumia evolves into a warrior for justice rather than seeking to retry the crime in the media. It is a fascinating snapshot into an era that we think of being in the distant past and it is shocking to realize how close it still is. This is the story of a man who refuses to allow adversity to silence his voice. And it is the story of others who bear witness to his message. The message is especially relevant today with the emergence of racism in the form of voter rights acts that seek to once again suppress the voice of minorities. It is an absorbing story.... you really should see it.
