    About me:

  • DVD's NOW ON SALE, CLICK HERE AND USE DISTRIBUTOR CODE WF824
  • DVD's NOW ON SALE, CLICK HERE AND USE DISTRIBUTOR CODE WF824
  • My name is William Francome. I was born on December 9th 1981, during a snow storm in London. At almost exactly the same time over three thousand miles away in Philadelphia, a police officer was shot and killed. A prominent journalist was also shot at the scene and was subsequently arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to death.

    The journalist, Mumia Abu-Jamal, has always protested his innocence, however during a trial that has been criticised for it's flaws, he was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death. He has been on death row ever since and has become America's most famous death row inmate. As an author of 5 books from prison and a regular broadcaster (over the phone from death row) he has become a lightning rod for those on both sides of the political divide, not only in the U.S but around the world. He has won the backing of Amnesty International and Nelson Mandela while at the same time receiving scorn from many who consider it an affront to celebrate a convicted murderer.

    Now... I'm going on a journey to find out more about what might have happened that night, about the city where it all took place and about the political and moral turmoil that surrounds the case....I'm going to find out about the man who's been in prison my whole life.

    Ex-Black Panther Rejected by U.S.
    Supreme Court in Murder Case
    By Greg Stohr
    April 6 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal from Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former radio reporter and Black Panther whose conviction for the 1981 killing of a Philadelphia police officer sparked international controversy. The justices, without comment, left intact a federal appeals court ruling that upheld Abu-Jamal’s conviction, turning away his contentions that prosecutors sought to exclude blacks from the jury. He was convicted in 1982 by a jury of 10 whites and two blacks.

    The case is Abu-Jamal v. Beard, 08-8483.


    Just a small change (Changeless change) Real change that you could believe in' would be an end to Empire, and an end to wars for corporate greed, not just a change of the shade of the political managers. That change, I'm afraid, is still to come.

    We wanted to give all our friends a gift, so here's the gift of film; a tastefully sized web video player running a couple of hours worth of the best short films in the world to you, for free (some people expect you to pay for films you know). Perhaps the coolest thing of all is that it even updates when we add a new film each week. So, enjoy the gift, watch some films, and if one isn't grabbing you hit the >| icon to skip to the next one or you can hit the book icon for more info on a film and links to the filmmakers, there's all kinds.
    Have a great weekend!

    Please check out my novel, Manjani. The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers called it "a revolutionary work well worth reading." Some places refuse to review it. You be the judge.


    New Manjani Cover

    STORY SYNOPSIS:

    Manjani Jackson is a mouthy New York teenager who believes her life’s purpose is to lead her “deaf, dumb, and blind” brothas and sistahs into The Revolution. On one of the worst days of her life, tragedy strikes, landing her at an all white school. Although she is working on getting along, the racist students make it impossible, and before long, the administration crosses the line, forcing Manjani into political action. Then one of her events gets out of hand, sending her on the run. Her journey leads to a place where bittersweet lessons about liberation are learned as her comrades turn against her. Only tough love, spiritual revelations, and self-determination will help her find her place in the struggle.
