Chicago, 1968. What was intended to be a peaceful protest at the Democratic National Convention turns into a violent clash with protesters on one side and the police and National Guard on the other. The organisers of the protest - including Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden and Bobby Seale - are charged with conspiracy to incite a riot. What follows is one of the most notorious trials in American history.

Featuring trademark Sorkian dialogue and a series of fine performances from Hollywood’s finest actors, The Trial of the Chicago 7 is a blistering film that shows that the theme of furious anti-authority protest still resonants fifty-plus years on.
