Yep, I was watching Mike, and the thought that was permanently in my head was "shit, this actually happened " The Dramatics involvement was obviously a massive selling point as far as folk on here are concerned, but take that away, its still a great thought provoking, educating, in depth insight into what was actually going down back in the racially charged melting pot of 60s USA

Terrible to watch it all through and know that people are still having to fight and campaign for equity and rights today, and not just in America of course.

If you haven't read Stuart Cosgrove's book, Detroit 67, do give it a go. It covers what's in the film and a whole lot more that all fed into that chaotic period.
