That was a very difficult watch (and not for the reasons I thought it would be at the start :laugh: ) The "event" itself was so tough to sit through and Freds death was so awful right at the end, I was shouting at him to just lie and get out of there :( I suppose they don't really know that that's what happened if he was the last one to leave though?
Such an injustice afterwards as well and in 1967 I'm really not at all surprised those scumbags got away with it, they probably would have gotten away with it 10 years ago lets be real
I was really worried there was going to be a rape scene in it and I'm glad that didn't happen, I wondered did it really happen that Julies dress was torn off or did they add that in so I googled it and in fact what they did was worse. I wonder why those cops couldn't have been charged with sexual assault as well?
Were the two white women at the motel forcibly stripped naked by police?
Yes. However, in the movie only Juli Hysell is forcibly stripped, and it happens largely by accident when Officer Krauss is being too rough with her. Fact-checking Detroit confirms that after the occupants of the motel's annex were lined up and hit by officers who demanded to know who was supposedly sniping from the motel, the two 18-year-old girls, Juli Hysell and Karen Malloy, were stripped naked and verbally harassed. It is unclear why this was toned down for the film. -The Algiers Motel Incident

Just an over all appalling story, nothing feel good about it but important non the less to know these things happened, especially in the climate we're currently living in
