From the description: "Jusice On Trial is a documentary that takes an in depth look into the trial of the internationally respected Mumia Abu Jamal. After an unfair trial in Philadelphia's court system in the 1970's Mumia Abu Jamal was placed on death row for 29 years. Now he has been released into the general population, this is an opportunity to learn about one of the most controversial and powerful freedom fighters of our generation. This event is a part of a series of events building up toward the Occupy the Department of Justice rally for Mumia on April 24th."
Apparently Sankofa holds screenings and events fairly often. I haven't been there before, though I went past it the other day. You can see their full calendar of events here.

Metro: Columbia Heights, walk about 15 minutes, take Irving across to Georgia Ave, about 4 long blocks, turn right on Georgia and walk about 3 or 4 more blocks. Sankofa is between Fairmont and Girard. You can also take the 70 bus, which runs along Georgia Ave, straight there from the Petworth station or from downtown.
