Detroit
Rioting nowadays only occurs when a sports team loses the championship.
However, as this drama reminds us, riots were once used to protest injustice.
In the wake of a police raid on an African-American club in 1967 Detroit, Governor Romney dispatches the National Guard to help local authorities contain the looting on 12th Street.
When shots are fired from a nearby motel, overzealous officer Philip Krauss (Will Poulter), his fellow guardsmen and a private security guard, Melvin Dismukes (John Boyega), violently interrogate the black occupants to find the shooter.
Matters escalate when two white girls are assaulted in Krauss' twisted game.
A chilling tale of police brutality that still holds true today, this well-acted and heart wrenching depiction of actual people and events is hard to watch at times, but harder still to ignore.
Furthermore, be sure to always carry a box of donuts with you to avoid police harassment. Green Light
