Чикаго, 1968 год. Демонстрация против войны во Вьетнаме вылилась в стычки с полицией. Семь участников беспорядков предстают пред судом по обвинениям в заговоре против американского правительства.
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.
