Q&A: Stanley Nelson and Traci A. Curry talk Oscar-nominated documentary 'Attica'

Director Stanley Nelson and Traci A Curry discuss their film Attica, which has been nominated for best documentary at the 2022 Academy Awards.

Attica is an archive- and interview-based account of the 1971 uprising at the Attica Correctional Facility in upstate New York. The violent five-day stand-off between law enforcement and its mostly Black and Latino inmates brought the issue of prison reform into the national consciousness.

The title debuted at Toronto ahead of its Showtime Networks premiere in November.

The interview was hosted by Screen International's Americas editor Jeremy Kay.
