Detroit<\/em>\u00a0is an American crime drama film surrounding the Algiers Motel incident during one of the most destructive civil distrubances in American history, the Detroit 1967 12th Street Riots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For those unfamiliar with the Algiers Motel incident, and I\u2019m sure a few of you will have never heard of it, three civilians were killed and nine other injured by white members of the riot task force during the 12th Street Riot.<\/p>\n

The film is produced and directed by Kathryn Bigelow, whose previous work graced us with\u00a0The Hurt Locker<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Zero Dark 30<\/em>; features, among others, Will Poulter, Anthony Macki and John Krasinski.<\/p>\n

The trailer begins with a radio broadcast, and a serious of historical images of the racially charged violence. A bus full of young African-American men are forced to take residence in the Algiers Motel \u201ctil all this blows over\u201d, but this is just the beginning.<\/p>\n

The film is highly influenced by the racial discrimination back in the 1960\u2019s; \u201cwhen you\u2019re black it\u2019s almost as if you\u2019ve got a gun pointing at your face\u201d, and the extensive force used by the Detroit Police Department and the Michigan State Police towards the black community.<\/p>\n

Detroit<\/em>\u00a0is due to be released on the 4th August, just a few days after the 50th anniversary of the civil disorder in which forty three people lost their lives.<\/p>\n
