Detroit est un drame historique américain réalisé par Kathryn Bigelow, sorti en 2017. Il revient sur les émeutes survenues à Détroit en 1967, également connues sous le nom d'émeute de la 12e rue (12th Street riot) et rébellion de 1967 à Détroit (1967 Detroit rebellion) et les événements survenus à l'Algiers Motel.
Synopsis
En juillet 1967, d'importantes émeutes ont lieu à Détroit dans le Michigan, pour protester contre la ségrégation raciale aux États-Unis et la guerre du Viêt Nam. La police de Détroit reçoit des plaintes à propos de pillages, d'incendies et de tirs d'armes à feu pendant plusieurs jours. Les forces de l'ordre et la population Afro-Américaine sont sous pression et chaque situation est susceptible de dégénérer dangereusement. C'est dans ce contexte que les forces de l’ordre encerclent l’Algiers Motel d’où semblent provenir des détonations, et où va se dérouler l'affaire du Motel Algiers. Dans ce chaos, Melvin Dismukes, un agent de sécurité privé afro-américain, tente de survivre tout en protégeant — bien mal — ses semblables. Persuadés d'avoir été visés, mus par le racisme, le sadisme et un sentiment d'impunité les policiers vont terroriser, frapper violemment, injurier les clients de l'hôtel pendant une grande partie de la nuit et en tuer trois. Justice ne sera jamais rendue.Actors

Starr Carter, 16 ans, vit entre deux mondes très différents : elle vient d'une zone résidentielle pauvre principalement habitée par des Noirs, mais fréquente une école privée pour élèves privilégiés, majoritairement blancs. Quand un jour elle voit son meilleur ami Khalil se faire tuer sous ses yeux sans raisons par un policier blanc, tous les efforts qu'elle a fait jusqu'ici fait pour s'adapter dans ces deux mondes très antagoniques sont réduits à néant. Alors que la pression s'exerce sur elle de toutes parts pour qu'elle garde le silence sur ce qu'elle a vu, Starr est face à un dilemme cruel : se taire pour préserver sa vie, ou défendre les droits de son ami et de sa communauté.

Mr. Colbert, a wealthy man from Chicago who was planning to build a factory in Sparta, Mississippi, is found murdered. White police Chief Bill Gillespie (Rod Steiger) comes under pressure to quickly find his killer. African-American northerner Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier), passing through town, is picked up at the train station between trains with a substantial amount of cash in his wallet. Gillespie, prejudiced against blacks, jumps to the conclusion that he has his culprit but is embarrassed to learn that Tibbs is an experienced Philadelphia homicide detective who is simply passing through town after visiting his mother. After the racist treatment that he receives, Tibbs wants nothing more than to leave as quickly as possible, but his own chief, after questioning whether Tibbs himself is prejudiced, has him stay and help. Leslie Colbert (Lee Grant), the victim's widow, already frustrated by the ineptitude of the local police, is impressed by Tibbs's expertise when he clears another wrongly accused suspect whom Gillespie has arrested on circumstantial evidence. She threatens to stop construction on the much needed factory unless Tibbs leads the investigation. Unwilling to accept help, but under orders from the town's mayor, Gillespie talks a reluctant Tibbs into working on the case.
