“I NEED YOU TO SURVIVE THE NIGHT.”

The Detroit riot of 1967 was no joke. “Police confrontations with patrons and observers on the street evolved into one of the deadliest and most destructive riots in the history of the United States… 43 dead, 1,189 injured, over 7,200 arrests, and more than 2,000 buildings destroyed.”  The film Detroit looks at what happened.  Synopsis:

Annapurna Pictures has released the first trailer for the upcoming film DETROIT. 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 ‘67.

Be prepared to be terrified, horrified, and heartbroken.  I’ll bring the Kleenex.  Detroit schools you on August 4th, 2017.
