  • This screening is part of the Meltdown Festival curated by Massive Attack Meltdown Festival http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/meltdown/

  • Official Film Website www.inprisonmywholelife.com
  • In Prison My Whole Life, has just won the best film prize at the Geneva International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights.

    Hi,

    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.

    Hey there! The following message was sent to me by Randy, and I'd like to forward it to you with my best greetings, wishes and thanks!! Josef
    Randy says: Howdy, you all! I know I'm not doing any blogs right now due to my ap-peals, but bear with me and one day soon I shall return - hopefully with a new lease on life. I'm not silenced. That's for sure. I'm just focusing and trying to get past all of the junk going on right now. My heart is with everyone and it's just awesome knowing there's so many people who care. I have sincere love for everyone. I have, since my time on death row, tried to live by three principles: love, compassion and forgiveness. Well, and two others: peace and faith, also. June marks my five year point on death row and hopefully also the end. I'll continue to give updates, but for now I just wanted to send love and let everyone know how grateful I am for this community. We're all brothers and sisters, striving for the ultimate goal: ending the death penalty. It's in our grasps. I know it. Peace, Randy

    Thanks for adding me. ¶ Love, not sleep. But people hear only what they want to, so facts alone won't wake them; inspiration is needed too. ¶ This world's evils have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, & murderers — particularly those in public office — believe we're all separate, motivated only by self-interest, by greed & fear. They want us to share that belief; they use it to justify themselves, to manipulate us, to shape the world's political & economic systems, perpetuating lies, war, poverty. ¶ But you & I have found something better inside ourselves & our friends. It's in everyone, even tank drivers & bomber pilots, if we can just wake them; we're all one flesh & blood. Let's spread that vision, for until we do our other advances will be minor & temporary. The outcome of the ideological struggle is not yet determined, so no one can afford to be just a spectator. Join the global conversation; it empowers us all. ¶ Question authority. Keep fighting, loving, hoping, singing. Hand in hand, we may still be able to heal the world. — Love, Eric

    There is an urgent petition calling on the Chinese government to respect human rights in Tibet and dialogue with the Dalai Lama that can be signed online at this address. The petition will be delivered tomorrow (31st March) to President Hu Jintao. If you haven't already signed you can do so at the address below.
    In just 7 days, the campaign is over half way to the goal of 2 million signatures!

    http://www. avaaz. org/en/tibet_end_the_violence/98. php/?CLICK_TF_TRACK

    After decades of repression, the Tibetans are sending out a global cry for change. Unrest is spreading across Tibet and neighbouring regions, and the Chinese regime is right now making a crucial choice between escalating repression or dialogue.


    President Hu Jintao needs to hear that "Made in China" exports and the upcoming Olympics in Beijing will have the support of the world's people only if he chooses dialogue. But it will take an avalanche of global people power to get his attention.
    In just 7 days, the campaign is over half way to the goal of 2 million signatures!

    http://www. avaaz. org/en/tibet_end_the_violence/98. php/?CLICK_TF_TRACK

    Thank you so much for your help - forward this email to friends!

    Petition to Chinese President Hu Jintao:

    'As citizens around the world, we call on you to show restraint and respect for human rights in your response to the protests in Tibet, and to address the concerns of all Tibetans by opening meaningful dialogue with the Dalai Lama. Only dialogue and reform will bring lasting stability. China's brightest future, and its most positive relationship with the world, lies in harmonious development, dialogue and respect'.
