In Prison My Whole Life is a 2007 documentary film about Mumia Abu-Jamal, directed by Marc Evans, and written by Evans and William Francome. The title comes from the fact that Abu-Jamal was arrested in December 1981, on the day Francome was born. Others involved with the project were Angela Davis, Anthony Arnove, Dead Prez, Howard Zinn, Mos Def, Noam Chomsky, Robert Meeropol, Russell Simmons, Snoop Dogg and Steve Earle. The film's executive producer is Colin Firth.

The film looks at the life of imprisoned political activist and former Black Panther member, Mumia Abu-Jamal, whose death sentence for killing a police officer was overturned in 2001 due to technical errors made during his original 1982 sentencing hearing. The film investigates America's civil rights history and its justice system through Jamal's court case.

Ce documentaire ouvre à nouveau les enquêtes sur les meurtres des superstars du rap, Biggie Smalls (The Notorious B.I.G.) et Tupac Shakur. Ces deux rappeurs, d'abord amis, sont devenus à cause de leurs succès respectifs des ennemis mortels. La thèse officielle de leurs assassinats est celle de la guerre du rap. Nick Broomfield offre la parole aux témoins et aux proches que la police n'a pas entendus. Les dessous de ces enquêtes bâclées révèlent la corruption des autorités, le pouvoir du producteur Suge, le rôle du FBI, les rumeurs selon lesquelles Notorious Big aurait commandité le meurtre de Tupac.

À seulement 60 miles au nord de New York se trouve la ville pauvre de Newburgh, où, en 2009, quatre hommes ont été arrêtés pour un plan visant à bombarder deux centres juifs dans le Bronx. Mais leur chef, un homme d'affaires pakistanais suspect placé par le gouvernement comme informateur, a conduit ces hommes directement entre les mains des autorités. Avec des images sans fin recueillies à partir de caméras cachées, les réalisateurs David Heilbroner et Kate Davis enquêtent sur ce que signifie vraiment le terrorisme local dans cet exposé choquant et galvanisant.
