"The film is based on the infamous 1969 trial of seven defendants charged by the federal government with conspiracy and more, arising from the countercultural protests in Chicago at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The trial transfixed the nation and sparked a conversation about mayhem intended to undermine the U.S. government."
Critics from around the world are raving about it: "The Trial of the Chicago 7 is the rare drama about the 1960s that's powerful and authentic and moving enough to feel as if it were taking place today" - Variety
Arlo Guthrie — who appeared at the trial on the side of the defense — recently reflected on the incident to Rolling Stone: “It seemed as if there was [an anti-war] groundswell that came from the bottom up. And that didn’t suit the business people or the politicians. They were looking to find out who was responsible for this. Who’s responsible for all these protesters? So they invented leaders so that they could target the demonstrators.”
"Scarily relevant." - Mashable
"This momentous cultural event from the end of the turbulent 60s is apt to floor those unfamiliar with the case given the uncanny similarities with events today... The film features a dynamic, sprawling ensemble, one of the best of the year." - Reeling Reviews
