Variety, August 27, 2021: ‘Attica’ Documentary Subject Tyrone Larkins Reflects on the 1971 Prison Rebellion
“Historians aren’t always the right voices to include in a history documentary. That turned out to be the case for Attica, the Showtime documentary about the five-day prison rebellion in 1971 in upstate New York that remains the deadliest event of its kind in American history. Instead of academic experts, director Stanley Nelson and co-director and producer Traci Curry turned to the people who were actually there.”
