Bar Milton Parc Coop, 3714 Avenue du Parc (métro Place-des-Arts)
Join us this May 25th at 7pm at Bar Milton-Parc (3714 avenue du Parc) for a FREE screening of the film "Attica" (2021), a critical opportunity to explore and engage with issues of racial justice, police brutality, and mass incarceration.
Through powerful archival footage and firsthand accounts from surviving prisoners and their families, the film tells the story of the 1971 uprising at the Attica Correctional Facility in New York, where incarcerated men demanded better living conditions and human rights. The response from the state was a violent and deadly crackdown that resulted in the deaths of 39 people, mostly inmates.
At the end of the screening, there will be space for discussion, and reflection of Attica and generally of police abolition.
QPIRG McGill will be hosting 4 different free film screenings over the summer at the end of each month that cover various social justice issues, followed by a small discussion.
Accessibility: TBA. There will be free snacks and popcorn available!
