Summary On Aug. 7, 1988, the East Village erupted into a six-hour frenzy fueled by growing tensions from the cultural and economic shifts in the neighborhood, which boiled over when the NYPD issued a 1 a.m. curfew for Tompkins Square Park. What resulted was a bloody, all-night melee that ended with dozens of injuries and six cops indicted by the New York District Attorney. Using footage captured by Lower East Side artist Clayton Patterson, Keith Maitland's "Police Riot" is visceral, immersive, and all too familiar.
