re: US COPS BRUTALITY -ATTICA Prison-Murders of 39 Inmates & Torture of Survivors
Betrayal At Attica
13 September, 1971 the State of New York shot and killed 39 of its own citizens, injured hundreds more, and tortured the survivors.
2 AUG, 2021
Social unrest in the United States hit a boiling point on 9 September, 1971, when inmates at Attica State Prison — after months of protesting inhumane living conditions — revolted, seizing part of the prison and taking 39 hostages.
The uprising resulted in the death of 43 people after troopers were called in to suppress the rioters.
Three years later, Cinda Firestone released this monumental investigation of the rebellion and its aftermath, piecing together documentary footage of the occupation and ensuing assault with video from the McKay Commission hearings that criticized Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller’s handling of the incident and firsthand interviews with prisoners discharged after the event.
Unavailable for 33 years, Attica (Cinda Firestone, US, 1974) still is a sobering and revealing look into the heart of American justice, weighing the costs of institutional dishonesty and abuses of power against the price some will pay to retain human dignity.
