Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Attica is a 2021 film directed by Traci Curry and Stanley Nelson.It is a documentary of the infamous Attica Prison riot of September 1971. Attica Prison was in 1971 notorious as the most brutal prison in the New York penal system, where inmates endure an appalling lack of hygiene, inadequate food and medical care, and regular abuse and beatings from guards. On September 9, 1971, a fight breaks out which spirals into a riot when inmates break through the central intersection in the prison complex. The inmates of the prison take over a substantial portion of Attica, and they also take 42 hostages.A tense five-day standoff continues. The inmates in the prison demand amnesty for the riot itself, as well as more humane treatment and other basic rights. A negotiating committee is receptive, and it seems as if the situation may be resolved peacefully—until a guard injured in the initial riot dies in the hospital. New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller gives the go-ahead for authorities to take back the prison by force. A bloodbath ensues.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Angry Black Man: Black militants of the 1960s like Huey Newton and Eldrige Cleaver are cited as influencing the inmate population of Attica; there's a clip of Malcolm X giving his "by any means necessary" speech. Black Panthers incarcerated in Attica also influence the rest of the inmates and make them less willing to take abuse. | |

Blatant Lies: A loudspeaker from the helicopter calls out "Surrender. You will not be harmed." At the same time, police began firing indiscriminately into the crowd with live ammunition. | |

| Attica / int_67711aa | comment |
Company Town: This phrase is used as a 1971 news report says that Attica, NY is a "prison town". The prison was almost the only employer in the town. This is cited as a problem since the town of Attica was at that time very white, which resulted in a lily-white workforce of prison guards in charge of an inmate population that was 70% black or brown. | |
