PLEASE NOTE: the film includes scenes some viewers may find
distressing.
BRFF’s contribution to Black History Month is a screening of
Betrayal at Attica which investigates the five day prison
occupation that took place outside New York in 1971. Ending
with the massacre of 29 prisoners and 10 hostages, no one in
authority has ever been charged with responsibility for the
actions of police and prison guards that day. The film revisits
the events and reveals the hidden evidence that points the
finger where it belongs through radical lawyer Elizabeth Fink
who tells the story of the Attica prison rebellion, and how she
exposed the cover up that went on for decades.
