"Put your hands in the air, and you will not be harmed." "But that was bullsh*t." Showtime has unveiled an official trailer for a superb new documentary film titled Attica, which just premiered at the 2021 Toronto Film Festival earlier this month. This is the definitive true story film about the 1971 prison riot at the facility known as Attica, which was already made into a feature film in 1980 also called Attica. In the fall of 1971, tensions between inmates & guards at the Attica Correctional Facility are at an all-time high. The morning of September 9th, it all comes to a head when inmates erupt into one of the largest U.S. prison riots ever witnessed. The documentary interviews a number of the prisoners who were directly involved in the riot, not only telling their story but also telling us about what really happened; along with a few police and lawyers and other people directly involved. It will change everything to hear about what really went down. This is a must watch. I caught this during TIFF and it's riveting and horrifying, but so very necessary to tell the truth. ›››
