IHRE BEWERTUNG
Attica (2021)
Attica details the five-day prison rebellion that transpired in the fall of 1971 in upstate New York and still stands as the largest and deadliest the country has ever witnessed. More than a simple recounting of the five days of rebellion, ATTICA will also offer a broader understanding of the Attica tragedy in the crosscurrents of politics, race, power and punishment during the early 1970s.

    Necessary viewing

    This is a tough, but necessary, watch. Even though the horrific display of state sanctioned violence and killing towards Black inmates at Attica prison in NY happened 50 years ago, it unfortunately feels contemporary. The scary thing is that not much has changed regarding police brutality, prison conditions, or racism over the past 50 years. The footage included is remarkable. You'd be hard pressed to find this kind of all access media regarding a similar event in 2021. As I said, this is necessary viewing for anyone interested in racial and social justice and abolition. Remarkably well done documentary.

    All Sides Fairly Shown

    There are extensive interviews with all sides here, except for politicans like Rockefeller and Nixon. The ones complaining about "one sided" or "bias" are simply either lying or have faulty memories. There's extensive interviews with guards and especially the families of guards and administration. The warden also, he shows up in the film every few minutes.

    And what were they insisting on? "Let's give equal weight to abuse and racism." Give equal weight to little medical care, denying right to practice religion, even petty abuse like one roll of toilet paper a month. Give equal weight to the fact that all guard deaths were by friendly fire by incompetently planned attacks.

    Some of it is remarkable, white prisoners admitting they got favored treatment. This is the most insightful of the Attica documentaries or films based on the hostage crisis.

    Searing Documentary on the Attica uprising

    "Attica! Attica!" That quote by Al Pacino in a scene from Sidney Lumet's brilliant 1975 DOG DAY AFTERNOON is probably all that most people know about the 1971 Prison uprising in New York state (if they get the reference at all).

    Stanley Nelson and Traci Curry's exemplary documentary does a thorough job of telling the full story. It's not just a recitation of facts, either, the filmmakers do excellent work in showing how the small upper state New York that housed the prison was a true 'company town' - the corporation being the state pen. Current day interviews are presented from many who participated (including multiple prisoners) and the families of those who aren't here to tell their story (especially the guards).

    Fortunately for the filmmakers there is ample footage, not just from newsreels, but, quite a bit from inside the prison. The prisoners made the wise P. R. choice to allow the media inside the prison walls in order for their side of the story to be told. The most chilling footage is from Attica's security cameras. They sit silently capturing all of the events without moving or editing. Just observing.

    What's most striking about the early part of the Documentary is how articulate the prisoners were (and are). Their pleas for fair treatment by officials is passionate and well thought out (one of their number, nicknamed 'Jerry the Jew', was an actual lawyer). The sense that they were finally being heard is palpable. There was even some optimism.

    All of this, adds to how painful the final act plays out. Even with some hope expressed early on, one knows how it all turned out. The villains here are then Governor Nelson Rockefeller and President Nixon (who not only expresses support for Rockefeller's actions, but goads him on). The surveillance footage is truly horrific. The police's repeated exhortations to the prisoners to surrender and "you'll all be safe" are just as heartbreaking five decades later.

    Nelson and Curry do mention that some reform did come out it, but, it took far too long, as did any king of recognition and compensation to the guards who became the pawns in the tug of war. ATTICA isn't just a 'history lesson' - it's a vital document that resonates.

    Unbridled white power abuse (and worse)

    "Attica" (2021 release; 117 min.) is a new documentary about the Attica prison riot. As the movie opens, it is "9-9-71, Thursday, Day 1", as we hear a number of former Attica prisoners who were there bear witness to it all. "70% of the prisoner population were black and brown; all-white guards... what could go wrong?", someone asks sarcastically. Along the way, we are given an overview of the way things were at Attica (overpopulation; poor living conditions; lack of available health care; systematic abuse from the guards, and so on). "We wanted to be treated like humans, not like dogs." At this point we are 10 min into the film.

    Couple of comments: this is the latest from Emmy-winning and veteran documentarian Stanley Nelson ("Freedom Riders"). The documentary opens with talking heads, as there wasn't archive footage of the situation until local (and later national) TV stations started covering the events. When watching a documentary like this, there are 2 separate aspects: the underlying events giving rise to the documentary, and whether the documentary itself is any good. As to the underlying event, let's be clear: this is unbridled white power abuse (and worse), pure and simple. If you object to the term "white power", well it's actually uttered by a New York state trooper at the Attica scene, right then and there, with a smirk on his face and without any awareness that, you know, this may not be the best thing to say out loud. But no, he doesn't care one bit. One might expect such scenes to come from the South African apartheid regime, but this really happened right here in the US, a mere 50 years ago. As to the documentary itself: the initial 90 min cannot prepare you for what you will see in the last 30 min of the film. Nelson and his team have painstakingly gone through the archive TV and film footage, and it is a veritable treasure trove on one of the most sickening events in the modern history of this country.

    "Attica" premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on 9-9-21, exactly 50 years after the Attica prison riot started, to immediate critical acclaim. The documentary recently premiered on Showtime, and is now available on SHO On Demand (where I saw it), Amazon Instant Video and other streaming platforms. If you need a reminder as to how unbridled white power has functioned in US history, you can do a lot worse than seeing this documentary, Of course, don't take my word for it and hence I urge you to seek out this film, and draw your own conclusion.
