Detroit

The 2017 film "Detroit" is a gritty and depressing depiction of one traumatic night in the city during the 1967 Detroit riot. The story centers around the Algiers Motel incident, where a squad of police officers respond to reports of gunshots and discover a group of black youths, white girls, and others, leading to a potent mix of racial hatred, bigotry, and violence. Characterized by the performances of Will Poulter, John Boyega, and Algee Smith, the film is based on true events and received positive reviews from critics, although it was a box office failure.
