One Hundred Years Ago: George Eastman in 1922

Attica
Labor Film Series On September 9, 1971, the incarcerated individuals at Attica Correctional Facility, citing systemic abuse and human rights violations, took control of the prison and over thirty hostages. This searing new documentary uses rarely seen footage and new interviews with former inmates and family of the guards to take a new look at the events of that week. Introduction by Jon Garlock, labor historian. Post-screening discussion hosted by the Rochester Education Justice Initiative (REJI).
