Attica. Like Watergate and Vietnam, it is an icon of recent history. Gov. RockefeIIer's brutal re-taking of the prison- a nine-minute, 1600-buIIet assault that took the Iives of 29 inmates and 10 guards heId hostage put an end to the four-day rebeIIion. But the struggles for justice, by both prisoners and guards, endured for three decades. EventualIy inmates wrested a historic $12-million settIement from the state, and that bittersweet victory spurred a new round of agitation by guards and their survivors.
GHOSTS OF ATTlCA offers a definitive account of America's most violent prison rebeIIion, its suppression, and the days of torture that ensued using exclusive, images, documents, and interviews. More than just a history fiIm, it aIso chronicles an unfoIding contemporary story, as both inmates and guards united by suffering, but divided by race, cIass, and culture hurtIe towards a final show-down with the state |
