this film blow me away . i think i know a little about the attica prison riot . after watch this and i see i know nothing . the story be tell through the relationship between the attorney and the black inmate . both the personal story of these two men and the unfolding courtroom drama be rivet . the flashback sequence in the prison be awesome . it hard to believe it wasn not documentary footage it be so real . it be not only a great piece of drama and it be an incredible lesson in an important chapter in american history . i be with ebert and roeper . i give it two thumb up .
