A Conversation on Death Row

by Mumia Abu-Jamal

When the Bruderhof first attempted to record on video a visit with Mumia Abu-Jamal, prison officials were hardly enthusiastic. After all, the State has been trying to silence the voice of prisoner AM-8335 for some twentyfive years. Never mind that he was a Peabody Award-winning journalist and, more recently, author of a critically acclaimed collection of commentaries on the American penal system.This home video production offers a glimpse of an unassuming man whose voice has inspired a burgeoning mass movement against the death penalty -- a man with a purpose and vision far larger than his own survival.
