Lo que pretendía ser una protesta pacífica en la Convención Nacional Demócrata de 1968 se convirtió en un enfrentamiento violento con la policía y la Guardia Nacional. Los organizadores de la protesta, incluidos Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden y Bobby Seale, fueron acusados de conspiración para incitar a un motín y el juicio que siguió fue uno de los más notorios de la historia.
La misma es protagonizada por Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Sacha Baron Cohen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Keaton, Frank Langella y John Carroll Lynch. @trialofchicago7 @NetflixFilm#TrialOfTheChicago7
