WORLD Channel: Eyes on the Prize - A Nation of Law?

Preview | 30s

In the wake of President Nixon's call to "law and order," stepped-up arrests push the already poor conditions at New York's Attica State Prison to the limit. A five-day inmate takeover calling the public's attention to the conditions leaves 43 men dead: four killed by inmates, 39 by police. From the award-winning documentary series "Eyes on the Prize."
