Interview with Philip Watkins conducted for Eyes on the Prize II. Discussion centers on his time as a prison guard at Attica Correctional Facility and the riot that occurred in 1971, including being held hostage by the inmates and the negotiations that occurred between the inmates and prison and state officials.
Thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the original 16mm negative film were scanned and digitized to create 2K DPX files and the original 1/4" elements were digitized to create 24-bit 96kHz .wav files. The picture and audio were then reassembled at the Film & Media Archive.
