A true story adaptation. In the 1968 U.S. election year, the Democratic Party will hold its convention in Chicago in August to elect a presidential candidate. Against this background, the Student Democratic Association; Youth International (Ippis); Black Panther Party and many other anti-New Left organizations wanted to hold events in Chicago, but none of them were approved by the authorities, causing the organizers and their followers to protest. dissatisfied. They rallied illegally, sparking clashes that eventually turned into the Chicago riots.
The film tells the story of the seven leaders who were put on trial after the incident. The incident also involved an innocent African-American. Although the film is this year's Oscar hit, but nothing new.
The film has multiple perspectives, leading to multiple positions: from the legal perspective; from the perspective of the white defendant; from the perspective of the African-American defendant; from the judge's; from the jury; from the lawyers; from the witnesses; from the media; from the observers; from the public ; and now in front of the TV, in front of the player, your perspective and position, etc...
However, I personally pay more attention to these seven defendants. What will their lives be like 5, 10 or even 20 years after this trial? Are they still holding on to who they were? Or denied? How did the judgment affect their later lives? What path did they choose afterward? What was the result? . . .
