Much like Zero Dark Thirty, this new film Detroit sheds some light on a critical time in American history, exploring the 1967 Detroit riots that rocked the nation.
From the Academy Award winning director of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, Detroit tells the gripping story of one of the darkest moments during the civil unrest that rocked Detroit in the summer of 1967.
Kathryn Bigelow directs from a sceenplay by Mark Boal, who wrote The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty.
The Detroit riots resulted in 43 dead, 1,189 injured, over 7,200 arrests, and more than 2,000 buildings destroyed.
