July, 1967: On the evening of her engagement party, virginal Debby is dropped off at home, only to discover her mother in bed with her uncle and a neighbor. Shocked and distraught, Debby runs out of the house but is soon accosted by a group of young black militants who kidnap her and bring her to their remote hideout. Forced into being their sex slave, Debby is subject to all manner of horrific abuse as the militants work on completing their for-hire plot to set off bombs and cause panic in the nearby city.
One of the most controversial and notorious hardcore films of the 1970s, the Michigan lensed HOT SUMMER IN THE CITY remains a pivotal example of regional sex-filmmaking as it merges local history with an exploitation film framing while showcasing an a "one-and-done" cast. Marking the feature film directing debut of soon-to-be prolific producer, Harry Mohney (credited here as "The Hare"), the story was adapted from the classic underground paperback Black Abductor by prolific film editor "T James Write," who restructured the the novel's setup as an alternate history account of the origins of Detroit's deadly 1967 "long hot summer." This now legendary film at last makes its way to Blu-ray, scanned in 2K from its 16mm camera negative.
