At the maximum security state prison Attica in upstate New York, more than 1000 inmates overwhelmed dozens of guards and civilian prison workers, and took control of the prison 50 years ago. They killed one guard and took the rest hostage. The prisoners demanded better treatment and living conditions. A new documentary looks at the biggest prison uprising in U.S. history. It’s called “Attica,” and is directed by Stanley Nelson and Traci A. Curry. 

Also, critics review the latest movie releases: “Last Night in SoHo,” “Antlers,” “Violet,” “Passing,” and “The Souvenir: Part II.”
