This week on “The Tent,” Daniella is joined by Stanley Nelson and Traci Curry, directors of the new, Oscar-nominated documentary “Attica.” They discuss the 1971 uprising and massacre at the Attica Correctional Facility, the importance of depicting the harrowing reality of America’s prison system, and what they hope viewers will take away from the film. Plus, Daniella breaks down the U.S. ban on Russian oil and Florida’s dangerous “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
