Institute History
Description
The story of Mumia Abu-Jamal ? with all its twists and sudden turns ? is about lies, vendettas and murder. But it is also about race, law and our criminal justice system. Mumia’s iconic, controversial, and provocative case continues to resonate with the most pressing questions about our legal system and about what continues to happen in American streets and courtrooms to this day. 35 years, 3 defense teams and 8 appeals later, some of the most basic questions about what happened that night still remain. What really happened at the corner of 13th and Locust ? and why do we still not know?

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
