'It was something that I never believed I would have seen, not here in the United States in America. But it happened,' Arthur Harrison reflects on the violent clash in 1971.
I had wanted to do a documentary about Attica for a long time. I was about 20 years old when it happened, and I remember it as so many people do. I just thought it was one of the foundational events in my life, and in so many people’s lives, and I felt that the story had never really been told. I never knew why the inmates rebelled. It was never really as clear as we make it in the film why [Gov. Nelson] Rockefeller thought it necessary to go into the prison and take it over with such violence.
Stanley, you said you were surprised to see how much footage there actually was. What was it like to get that access?We knew that there was some footage, but as we started, the [network] footage started to roll in. We just said, “OK, we want everything.” We kept constantly pushing for like a year and a half. Also, the whole film was made in the time of COVID. A lot of the [smaller] archives had shut down.
