After 50 years, it stands as the greatest debacle in American penal history-the 1971 prisoner uprising at the New York state facility over the deprivation of basic needs, that ended after five days with a police response that claimed over 40 lives, inmates and hostages alike. This sobering, deep-dive look back from director Stanley Nelson speaks with individuals who were there, as well as survivors of the casualties on both sides, about the conditions that spurred the riot, the failures in negotiations, and more. 120 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1. - Baker & Taylor
Offers an account of the 1971 Attica prison uprising, highlighting the need for reform of the violent prison system.
