Discussion with:

Azadeh Zohrabi - UC Hastings Race & Poverty Law Journal
Dennis Cunningham - Original Attica Attorney
Manuel La Fontaine - about connecting the dots to Georgia, Ohio and California prison strikes

Prison unrest in the United States hit a boiling point on September 9,
1971, when inmates at Attica State Prison after months of protesting
inhumane living conditions rebelled, seizing part of the prison and
taking 35 hostages. The uprising was met with a military attack and the
murder of 43 people after NY State troopers assaulted the prisoners.
Attica - released 3 years later - is an investigation of the rebellion
and its aftermath, piecing together documentary footage of the occupation
and ensuing assault. Especially significant today as prisoners from
Georgia, Ohio, California and other states fight for their human rights
in the face of increased imprisonment and the brutality and torture of
long-term solitary confinement.
