The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) will bring cinema to the people every third Thursday of the month with MOVIES @ MoRUS, a series of films highlighting such themes as social justice, political reform, environmental activism and Lower East Side history. Each screening will be followed by a talk back and discussion.
The first of the MOVIES @ MoRUS series will be held on February, 18th. In observance of Black History Month, the first film screened will be Long Distance Revolutionary: A Journey with Mumia Abu-Jamal directed by Stephen Vittoria. The film is an in-depth examination of the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a journalist on death-row whose conviction in the case of the 1981 murder of a policeman in Philadelphia continues to raise questions about the death penalty, the judicial system, and race in America.
MOVIES @ Morus is free to the public but a suggested donation of $5.00 is always appreciated. Showtime is 7:00 PM at MoRUS, 155 Avenue C between 9th and 10th Streets.
