In September 1971, Attica Correctional Facility became the site of the deadliest prison uprising in U.S. history. What began as a protest over overcrowding, medical care, and basic human rights escalated into a four-day standoff that captured the world’s attention.

This true-crime documentary breaks down the Attica Prison Riot—from the first takeover of the yard to the failed negotiations, the tragic retaking of the prison, and the shocking truth revealed by later investigations. Official reports initially blamed inmates for the deaths of hostages, but autopsies and evidence later showed that most fatalities were caused by state gunfire.

Attica didn’t just expose the conditions inside American prisons—it forced a national reckoning on prison reform, oversight, and the use of force. Decades later, its lessons still echo across the U.S. correctional system.
