Taken from Wikipedia "The 1967 Detroit riot, also known as the 12th Street riot, was a violent public disorder that turned into a civil disturbance in Detroit, Michigan. It began in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 23, 1967. The precipitating event was a police raid of an unlicensed, after-hours bar then known as a blind pig, just north of the corner of 12th Street (today Rosa Parks Boulevard) and Clairmount Avenue on the city's Near West Side. 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, lasting five days and surpassing the violence and property destruction of Detroit's 1943 race riot.

The movie is starring some familiar and hot movie stars of today including Will Poulter of The Revenant, The Maze Runner, We are the Millers, John Boyega of Star Wars:The Force Awakens, Anthony Mackie of The Hurt Locker, Captain America, Triple 9 and about 12 other movies,Jack Reynor of Transformers, Sing Street, Jacob Latimore of The Maze Runner, Hannah Murrav of The Numbers Station, The Chosen and Womb.
