ATTICA
In 1971, tensions between inmates and guards at the Attica Correctional Facility come to a head in the early hours of September 9 when inmates from the maximum security prison in upstate New York began the largest prison riot in US history. Through original interviews with former inmates, family members of the hostages, and those who witnessed the rebellion firsthand, Attica brings us back to a moment in time that resonated for decades, weaving hundreds of hours of never-before-seen archival footage from inside the prison.
Following the screening, co-directors Stanley Nelson and Traci A. Curry in conversation with CNN Senior Legal Analyst and Sirius XM Host Laura Coates.
Attica premieres on Showtime on November 6.
