Growing Together: A former MOVE family reunites after prison in the US

All his adult life, Mike Africa Jr fought for the release of his parents and other imprisoned members of MOVE, a Black revolutionary group in Philadelphia, the United States. Nine members of MOVE were convicted of murder and sentenced to between 30 and 100 years for the death of a police officer in 1978 when a standoff turned into a shootout. The so-called MOVE 9 always maintained their innocence. Mike Jr’s parents, Mike and Debbie Davis, are released on parole with a love for each other that survived four decades of enforced separation. Mike Jr, who was born in prison and raised by extended family, continues a fight for freedom while planning his parents’ wedding. Growing Together is a documentary film by Karen Marks.
