Netflix has dropped another trailer for the soon-to-be-release Aaron Sorkin film The Trial Of The Chicago 7 which is landing on the streamer next month.

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.
Sorkin directs from his own screenplay. The Netflix release date has been set for 15th October. Here’s the trailer.
