Recreated in unflinching real-time, Detroit’s sustained sense-attack will be talked about for years, if not decades, to come – an hour-long endurance so physical you experience it in the pit of your stomach.

Med klaustrofobiske billeder og et effektivt ubehageligt lyddesign inviterer Bigelow publikum til at mærke, hvordan det må have været, at være i politiets vold den skæbnesvangre nat på hotellet.

Frequently asked questions

What is Detroit about? Toggle content

Detroit, a gripping drama inspired by true events, recounts the horrifying story of the 1967 civil unrest in Detroit, Michigan. On July 23rd, a police raid on an unlicensed club sparked one of the largest citizens' uprisings in US history. As chaos erupted throughout the city, a group of young black men and two white women sought refuge in the Algiers Motel. Tragically, their sanctuary became a scene of unimaginable horror when police officers burst in and began a rampage of beatings, killings, and mock executions. The film's protagonist, Melvin Dismukes, a private security guard who witnessed the atrocities firsthand, found himself caught up in the investigation that followed. Detroit shines a light on one of America's darkest moments: an event that left three young black men dead and countless others brutalized by those sworn to protect them. Through raw and powerful performances from its all-star cast - including John Boyega as Melvin Dismukes - director Kathryn Bigelow masterfully captures both the fear and fury that permeated Detroit during those five days in July 1967.
