What is Attica About

Over the summer of 1971, tensions between the mostly Black and Latino inmates at the Attica Correctional Facility and law enforcement were simmering, and finally, on September 9, it boiled over. The following five days became known as one of the largest U.S. prison riots ever. Now, filmmaker Stanley Nelson looks at the events and culture that made that uprising occur and the deep-seated racism that not only led to it but also labeled it a “riot” for the next 50 years.
