Fifty years ago in September, prisoners took over the state penitentiary in Attica, NY, an event that still reverberates today.It has endured in the collective memory not so much because of the uprising itself, but for how it ended: in an explosion of violence in which state troopers and police fired indiscriminately into the prison yard, killing more than 30 inmates and guards being held hostage.The Showtime documentary Attica, directed by Stanley Nelson and Traci A.
Curry, examines what precipitated the prison revolt, the negotiations that took place to try to end it peacefully, and the slaughter that brought it all to a close.
