in the new documentary, "long distance revolutionary: a journey with mumia abu-jamal."pening around the country starting today. the producer, writer, director of the film, stephen vittoria joins us, as well as the co- producer noelle hanrahan of the prison ready project. these last few minutes you just turn me on the fun directly from prison, but you visited him yesterday. >> i visited him yesterday. it was one of our extraordinary -- another one of our extraordinary visits. i know it is hard to believe the good to a maximum-security prison when he was on death row and you had a good time but not for mumia, but he makes a good time. what we try to do with the film is capture mumia's personality, the compassion, the love that mumia has for people. ultimately, i think that is what true revolutionaries come from, a place of love. i made the film because you wake up in a country and realize the country is being run by mass murderers, economic rapists, and general run-of-the-mill psychopaths. i started to look for some sanity. i found sanity in a dark, dank hall on death row

was abu ghraib. this was proof positive that all the things said about amerco was hard and fast -- about america was hard and fast, captured in photographs. the prison guards were not effectively supervised. that is what i believe. but it invalidated a lot of the impressions in the propaganda that -- but it invalidated a lot -- but it validated a lot of the impressions in the propaganda that the al qaeda put out. they used abu ghraib to light the fire. if you are doing that or even if you are perceived as doing that, i think it is extraordinarily damaging to your cause, long term. and you have to think long-term. you cannot think what feels best today. >> one of many great things about your book is that you tell us the historical figures that influenced your thinking. i was really struck by one. here you are, fighting in the middle of the desert, the 21st century. you looked for inspiration and leadership to horatio nelson, a naval commander two centuries before. you say in the book that he -- his le

they wake up, oh, abu, abu. >> reporter: homeland changed everything.at i've done in the past, i've never gotten so much recognition for my work. >> reporter: the show is on the hunt for a wanted terrorist out for revenge for a u.s. drone strike that killed his son. nazir enlist as prisoner of war to help him carry out terror attacks. >> the show doesn't give you an answer. it raises questions. so you sit there and you ask yourself the question how would i behave if i were in that situation. they say that there is no hero. everybody has flaws. >> reporter: he says he knew he wanted to be an actor growing up as a little boy in iran. after the revolution, he moved to germany where he studied acting while working as a painter and taking on on other odd jobs. he later moved to los angeles and started to get roles in television shows and movies. being an iranian and playing a terrorist has gotten him shaome criticism from iranian americans who say it's the exact image they have been fighting to change. >> first of all, i'm an actor and i'm not playing an ira

abu has fought hard to have his death sentence overturned but almost lost that battle and his life. >o pick me up that night that i wasn't -- i wasn't going to eat, i wasn't going to sleep or drink water. that was my nonviolent way of protesting. >> in 2002, abu was brought over to death watch to begin the three days there before his scheduled execution. >> when they were restraining me with full restraints, the handcuffs and chains i was walking from here over to where the big visitor room is at, they were watching me 24 hours a day. you can't even use the bathroom unless they have to write it down on the log. i was in another world. literally. i had to be in another world. because if not, i would have cracked down and resorted to my suicidal tendencies that i experienced during the course of my whole life. >> just one day before his scheduled execution, abu received a visit from a federal investigator. >> and i looked at her. and she said she finally got a stay. and that's when i almost said if it wasn't for this shelf life thing, the hold me as i was going down, i probably would ha

the individual time that is too spiritual adviser for abu mosab al-zarqawi. i take this into great detail in my book. we had him for weeks. at one point we get movie night with him. two primary interrogators developed his close relationship. they've been talking every day and finally said with ticket might often have a movie. they all three sat there together and watched a movie. it is the exercise. [laughter] but that's the way we did it. and over time which you try to do is convince that person they want to communicate. go do it for lots of reasons. sometimes because they're scared of being prosecuted within iraqi law. sometimes because there goes full. sometimes they're worried about their family. in a range of reasons and interrogators want to use whatever reason say they at the end of the day, you've got to convince them they want to give you information. the problem with treacher, multiple levels of problem and torture. the first is there sort of an academic argument of whether it works or not, in the interest i don't know. haven't tortured anybody. it'

if question has been squirreling around mumia abu. jamal since december the 9 1981.ntinue broadcasting radio commentary even with prison noise notice background. if you heard any of his stuff it's fascinating listening. he has never stopped writing in radical voice or professing his evidence. officer faulkner's widow has never stop discussing his guilt. >> there was never a time when africans blindly obediently accepted their fate. africans fought in every way possible against their inhuman fate. >> mumia is imitating the first cry of the first slave that was brought to this country who said no. >> john: funnying me now is one of the producers of the film noel hallahan. >> john: the writings he has put forth, stephen, you seem to be the driving force getting the film made. what made you decide to do this film? >> from a practical standpoint every practical piece done on mumia has always focused on the case. right now in 2013 there was nothing else that came in the table that i wanted to mine that hadn't been done before. what interested me so much, you wake up in a c

then you have abu abbas who is the nominal leader, i call him, of the palestinian authority, who hasn't wanted to sit down with the israelis, say let's sit down at any table, no conditions. let's not leave the room until we have peace. he's afraid if he entered into a peace treaty with israel, that his own people would execute him. they don't want a peace. what they want is a single state where the jews will be submerged and the arabs will impose sharia or whatever else their islamic religion requires. >> but when you look at the obvious oppression of nearly 2 million palestinians on the gaza strip in particular, it's a terribly depressing -- >> sure. >> helpless situation. >> and they could change it. they could change it. >> can only they change it or do the israelis have to also give a little bit? >> of course. >> everything about compromise? >> of course the israelis have to give, and they will. and omar, who was the prime minister, said he was within a hair's breath of dealing with abu abbas, but it's the fear that the palestinian leadership has that if they enter into a treaty wit

and omar, who was the prime minister, said he was within a hair's breadth of dealing with abu abbas, but it's the fear that the palestinian leadership has that if they enter into a treaty with israel, they will be murdered. >> when you see the political rhetoric being deployed not just there but in washington in particular, it's so vicious now. >> it is. >> you went through a bit of this yourself, very personal in nature. >> yeah. >> when you see it now, is it as bad as it has ever been, do you think? >> worse. i enjoyed my stay in congress. most people today do not. too many people who have been elected really don't understand the nature of government. government is compromise. >> doing a deal. >> doing a deal. >> always in the back of their minds the national interests, not their own personal interests. >> correct. >> your speculation about who may be the nest president because president obama is in his last four years now. hillary clinton? could we be facing our first female president? >> i'm for hillary. i think she is beloved as a figure today. and i believe that if she runs, an
