    What was intended to be a peaceful protest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention turned into a violent clash with police and the National Guard. The organizers of the protest — including Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden and Bobby Seale — were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot and the trial that followed was one of the most notorious in history.

    “It’s great, a wily marriage of Sorkin’s strengths, timely material, and an ensemble cast made of top to bottom standout performances.” — Kate Erbland, IndieWire

    “Aaron Sorkin’s ‘The Trial of the Chicago 7’ is absolutely terrific, and will definitely be among the year’s best. Sharp, riveting, timely, tremendous writing and sensational performances across the board. A chilling but inspiring film about the power of protest.” — Erik Davis, Fandango

    “The Trial of the Chicago 7” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Oct. 9-13. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 9, 10 and 11; and 4 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 12 and 13.

    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
