In the summer of 1967, the US was beset by social unrest, with the Vietnam War and a growing number of racial injustice and repression. During the Detroit rebellion, local police is called to investigate a report of gunshots in the vicinity of the Algiers Motel. Flouting procedural rules, policemen interrogated and tortured a group of African-Americans, in a deathly, intimidating game. By the end of the night, three unarmed men had been gunned down, and several others were brutally beaten. Based on a shocking true story. From director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty).
