Detroit (2017) Netflix
Detroit is a fact-based drama set during the summer of 1967, when a police raid on an unlicensed after-hours club sparked the 12th Street Riot and plunged the city into violent civil unrest. The film centers on the Algiers Motel episode on July 25, when officers and National Guard troops confront motel guests amid reports of sniper fire — an encounter that escalates into brutality, the deaths of three young Black men, and the beating and terrorizing of several others. Through the perspectives of witnesses, residents, a conflicted Black security guard, and rogue officers, the story examines racial tension, abuse of power, and the search for truth and accountability in a city under curfew. Based on real events, Detroit confronts the human cost of a moment that still raises painful questions about justice.
