Film Description
The film focuses on the historic 1971 Attica prison rebellion in upstate New York. It targets the conditions that coused prisoners to take drastic steps toward securing their basic rights. The film questions the reactions of prison warden Oswald, Governor Nelson Rockefeller and President Nixon - as well as the death of 31 inmates and prison guards killed by the National Guard. Through on-site footage taken during and after the rebellion and follow-up interviews with the inmates, the film relates a powerful message concerning prisoners' rights, and provides an important historical document (1972).
