Dog Day Afternoon was an early 70s film classic that helped cement Al Pacinos legacy as one of Americas premeire actors. During a key scene he came out the bank that he and his partner were holding hostage and rallied the crowd in his favor with a chant os Attica! Attica! Attica! it was a very powerful moment in the film so when I read the title of the poll the word sciatica brought me back to that movie.
Attica itself is an interesting event to read about to get a picture of where the American Prison system was at in the early 70s and the brutality with which we treated our own people. Check it out here if you have time and note the reference to Dog Day Afternoon and the symbolism that Attica! Attica! Attica! scene represented.:
