Released last October, the film titled THE TRAIL OF THE CHICAGO 7 continues to be the talk of the global film industry. Apart from its compelling storyline, this film directed by Aaron Sorkin is considered an 'all-star' film, given the many big names involved, such as Sacha Baron Cohen, Tahya Abdul-Maten II, Jeremy Strong, and Michael Keaton.
THE TRAIL OF THE CHICAGO 7 tells the story of 7 individuals accused of incitement during the riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. This event is also known as the largest trial ever held, as the individuals, known as the Chicago 7, staged demonstrations against the Vietnam War that eventually turned violent. Additionally, this incident drew attention due to the controversial decision made by President Nixon to hold an open trial for the Chicago 7 defendants, as trials were usually held behind closed doors at the time.
