Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit Gets A Powerful New Trailer.
Kathryn Bigelow is arguably the most successful female director working in Hollywood today. Producing wide-ranging masterpieces from the 90’s action classic Point Break to the quintessential retelling of the manhunt for Osama Bin Laden in Zero Dark Thirty. Her most recent film, Detroit looks to continue her nearly spotless record by recapping one of the most compelling and tragic events in our nation’s history. The Algiers Motel Incident is the most documented event of police brutality that occurred during the 1967 12th Street Riot. The film will inevitably be a tough watch due to the subject matter but, with Bigelow’s meticulous eye for detail and the research she does for films, it will undoubtedly be an accurate retelling of the tragic events.
Here are the official synopsis and trailer for Detroit.
“A police raid in Detroit in 1967 results in one of the largest citizen uprisings in United States history. The story is centred around the Algiers Motel incident, which occurred in Detroit, Michigan on July 25, 1967, during the racially charged 12th Street Riot. It involves the death of three black men and the brutal beatings of nine other people: seven black men and two white women.”
