Like Watergate and Vietnam, it is an icon of recent history. Gov. Rockefeller's brutal re-taking of the prison- a nine-minute, 1600-bullet assault that took the lives of 29 inmates and 10 guards held hostage put an end to the four-day rebellion. But the struggles for justice, by both prisoners and guards, endured for three decades. Eventually inmates wrested a historic $12-million settlement from the state, and that bittersweet victory spurred a new round of agitation by guards and their survivors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e GHOSTS OF ATTICA offers a definitive account of America's most violent prison rebellion, its suppression, and the days of torture that ensued using exclusive, images, documents, and interviews. More than just a history film, it also chronicles an unfolding contemporary story, as both inmates and guards united by suffering, but divided by race, class, and culture hurtle towards a final show-down with the state\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e REVIEW \u003cbr\u003e Powerful and disturbing. --Indiewire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn excellent and constantly enraging primer on the riot…the ghosts of Attica are very much alive. --The Hollywood Reporter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop of the line in its every detail. --Entertainment Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40940463128673,"sku":"0854565002883","price":15.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_7734324_325006.jpg?v=1722963100","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0854565002883-ghosts-of-attica-united-states-edition","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
