Summary
On September 13, 1971, the State of New York shot and killed 39 of its citizens, injured hundreds more, and tortured the survivors. More than 1,200 men were stripped naked, forced to crawl across a muddy cellblock yard, and then run through a gauntlet of state employees who beat them with nightsticks, rifle butts, pickaxe handles, and other weapons. They were forced to run barefoot over broken glass and kicked down stairwells. The horrors of that day still haunt the handful of men who remain with us to tell the story. For fifty years their tales have been met with disbelief and scorn by many, including some who claim the retaking was an orderly affair and guns were used sparingly. The evidence presented in this film has been hidden by the State of New York for 50 years. Radical lawyer Elizabeth Fink found the photos and videos in a state warehouse when she represented the Attica Brothers
