Here comes the story of a case that spread havoc amongst the United States of America and the world! The academy award winner Aaron Sorkin brings to you this film based on real-life events that gives you a detailed picture of what happened in the infamous trail of Chicago and how it altered the very fragments of democracy.
What was intended to only be a peaceful protest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention turned sour with many fights and violence breaking out between the protesters, the national police, and the National Guard.
The youth of America showed that they refused to let the hierarchy determine what was good for the nation and have an active say in the decision.
The organisers of the protest Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden, and Bobby Seale, were actively charged with conspiracy to incite riots. What followed was one of the most notorious cases to go down in history.
There were accusations and allegations of everything right from replacing jury members to wire tampering and even hints of discrimination with a judge who seemed biased before the trial had even begun.
This is a story of how these so-called rebels who changed the perception and outlook that the common folk had regarding the war against Vietnam.
They went out intending to stop a war and almost landed up starting one but what got them through their tough times was their utter determination and persistence coupled with their hope to view a better world.
This film, just like the others shows which have been endorsed and branded by Netflix, recently gives you a sneak peek into one of the most controversial incidents that plagued the American nation.
The Trial of the Chicago 7 will release on Netflix on 16th October and can provide you with a unique outlook of the things that took place in that historic battle.
