Description:
Examination of the news blackout which followed the storming of Attica prison. After the New York State Correction Department recaptured Attica State Prison, killing over 40 people in the process, a news blackout was imposed by state officials. Despite ifforts by reporters, lawyers, and medical teams to penetrate the prison walls, news from attica was confined to evasive official press conferences and fragmentary reports from eyewitnesses. Paul Fischer and Bruce Soloway worked to piece the stroy together in Attica and Buffalo. A compilation of their findings fromm the days immediately after the killings. remastered 2/1999
