Summary
Survivors, observers and expert government officials recount the 1971 uprising at the Attica Correctional Facility, when a violent five-day standoff between mostly Black and Latino inmates and law enforcement took place. This film sheds new light on the enduring violence and racism of the prison system and highlights the urgent, ongoing need for reform 50 years later
