host: put in context the algiers incident. stephen: a group of african-american teens are in the algiers motel in the city with some white teens and i do not remember what the reason was, the police show up. but over several air -- hours it escalates to the point where they kill some of these black kids and there is never a good reason for that killing. there is never an excellent nation. as heather points out, they are never held to account. no one is ever brought to justice. heather: again to be clear, these were kids who were in this hotel because there is so much chaos in the street, three of these kids were musicians, they had come from performing a gig and the parents say do not come home to my stop and hotel so you will be safe and this pulled -- the police show up with the rumor of a sniper and the kids are tortured in eaton and the police play russian roulette and three of them end up dead. and that captures that is critically important because that is a microcosm of the reason why the city erupted in the first place.

talk a little bit about the movie for those who didn't know what happened at the algiers motel. >> setlted in three young african-american men losing their lives at the hands of the police. seven other people were kind of viciously brutalized including two women. so, you know, it's an important story to tell these people when giving social justice, while we can't give them that it's important we shed light on the story. >> this is a historical piece. in 1967 in detroit i was there, i was one year old. >> don't give away your age. >> my birthday was a couple days ago. but had you known anything about this before you started this film, about the whole story? >> i'm from saginaw, michigan. i knew about a lot of the rebel yons that were taking place all around the u.s., but like i said i didn't specifically know about the algiers. when i got this part that was a complete history lesson for me. one of our cast mates jason mitch else calls us historians because we get to play a part and tell a truth that hadn't been told. my little sisters and little brothers don't know about this. to be abl

the film depicts the algiers motel incident, where the cops during the riot thought there was a sniperhey went and lined a bunch of people up against the wall, and kept them there for hours, and terrorised them. and, by the time the incident was over, three african—americans were dead. i got all night, people. the centrepiece of the movie is the 45—minute—long motel sequence. some have said that this is the most powerful part of the film, as it gives a window into the nature of police brutality, which is still present to this day. others have said it is a nearly pornographic lynching sequence, and has little value. let's not be stupid in this situation. the film was put together by a white director, kathryn bigelow, and a white writer, mark boal. so it didn't feature any black creators on the production team. i think the issue of who made this film, and whether it should have been black filmmakers, is on the one hand an important one to discuss, and to the extent that we need more talented people who are african—americans behind the camera. on the other hand, it is a very dicey issue,

( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: based on a true person, that person based on a real character? >> yeah, yeah. in the movie, it's karl green. in real life, his name was robert green, and he was the person who came out and spoke out about what happened at the hotel. he was the first person to speak up and talk about the injustice that was going on during the uprising in detroit. >> stephen: now, 50 years later, there is still a strained relationship between the police in the african-american community and a lot of cities. >> yep.

so when you mentioned somebody like a kathryn bigelow, the way that she tells the story of the algiersel incident in the movie "detroit" is very unique to her. i don't think any other filmmaker would have approached the story quite the way she does in this film and you can say the same about patty jenkins. her vision for wonder woman was a product of her personal taste and predilections. in both cases they work well. "dunkirk" is another great example. we could go on and on. a good summer for directors. >> brown: "talking pictures, and how to watch movies." ann hornaday. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> sreenivasan: why is it that people have no qualms about confessing "i'm terrible at math," yet you rarely hear anyone saying "i'm awful at english?" eugenia cheng is the scientist in residence at the school of the art institute of chicago, and author, whose latest book is "beyond infinity." tonight, we hear her humble opinion on why math is in need of a make-over.
