Quentin Tarantino would be one, along with The Coen Brothers, but above them stands Aaron Sorkin; who has managed to craft some of the best screenplays over the past 20 years including <i>Charlie Wilson\u2019s War, The Social Network, Moneyball, Steve Jobs, <\/i>and <i>Molly\u2019s Game<\/i>. Later this year, he will be releasing his second outing as a director with <i>The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/i> set to release in select theaters and Netflix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In taking on <em>The Trial of the Chicago 7 <\/em>screenplay,\u00a0Sorkin has decided to take his style and look at one of the most tumultuous years in American history, 1968. A year that saw the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy, the escalating Vietnam War, the ongoing struggle for Civil Rights as well as the rise of the Black Panthers and the FBI and their insidious program for disrupting \u201cpolitical dissidents\u201d called COINTELPRO. Recently, a teaser trailer for <em>The Trial of the Chicago 7 <\/em>film was released and while the 97 second preview does not give us the full picture of what to expect, we can certainly dissect it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For starters, we see that <i>The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/i> by Sorkin boasts an all-star cast that includes Yahya Abdul-Matteen II, Sacha Baron Cohen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Keaton, Eddie Redmayne, Mark Rylance and William Hurt. Sorkin has always had the ability to attract all sorts of stars to his projects including Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jesse Eisenberg, Rooney Mara, Andrew Garfield and Jessica Chastain. While a plethora of stars does not decide if a film good or not, it is a good sign that so many prominent, well-known actors have signed on for <em>The Trial of the Chicago 7 <\/em>screenplay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Front and center in the trailer is Cohen who will be playing legendary activist Abbie Hoffman who chillingly remarks at the end of the trailer by saying <em>\u201cI\u2019ve never been on trial for my thoughts before.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Trial of the Chicago 7 | Official Teaser Trailer | Netflix Film\" width=\"1278\" height=\"719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OAaZIfeQzT0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition, <em>The Trial of the Chicago 7 <\/em>movie is set during a time when so many historical threads were intertwined, yet it\u2019s next to impossible to unwind them all. The assassinations of several prominent leaders like Dr. King and Robert Kennedy sparked unrest and caused wide-ranging historical repercussions that society is dealing with to this day. Specifically, the murder of Kennedy in 1968, literally minutes after the California Primary, sent the Democratic Party into a tailspin who were forced to find a viable candidate that could compete against the presumptive Republican nominee, Richard Nixon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Next to the political unrest, was the escalation of the Vietnam War and the American public seeing troops come home in body bags. At home, rising unrest and the ongoing struggle for Civil Rights led to the creation of the Black Panther Party founded by Fred Hampton, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. Behind the scenes of all of these threads, was the FBI who under the direction of Director J. Edgar Hoover began a targeted disinformation campaign against political groups like the Black Panthers and prominent Civil Rights leaders under a program titled COINTELPRO. The exact details of this program are outside of the scope of\u00a0<em>The Trial of the Chicago 7 <\/em>film<em>, <\/em>but let\u2019s just say the FBI was up to some shady practices for a long time for reasons that now seem racist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">All of these threads came together at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago when groups of protesters clashed with members of the Chicago Police Department over the course of seven days which resulted in over 500 people being treated for various injuries. The riots have gone down as one of the darkest chapters of American political history but what happened after the riots is equally as interesting and dark. Several organizers of the protest groups, including Abbie Hoffman and Bobbie Seale, were arrested by police on charges for conspiring to cross state lines to incite a riot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Seven protesters were eventually convicted on charges but these convictions were later overturned in 1972 but the original conviction is now considered one of the greatest miscarriages of justice. The trial will seem to be the subject of\u00a0<em>The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em> movie by Sorkin accompanied by a depiction of the protests and the eventual riot potentially. The protests will be displayed via flashback which seems to be the norm of Sorkin&#8217;s films including the structure of <i>The Social Network <\/i>and <i>Molly\u2019s Game<\/i>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-165191 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DiningFeat.png\" alt=\"Chicago Winter Dining Challenge\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DiningFeat.png 1500w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DiningFeat-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DiningFeat-391x260.png 391w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DiningFeat-370x247.png 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DiningFeat-842x561.png 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DiningFeat-406x271.png 406w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">View the WORST Submissions to the Chicago Winter Dining Challenge<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Need a good laugh?

Let\u2019s hope that Sorkin doesn\u2019t take certain liberties with the historical record for the sake of telling this story.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Trial of the Chicago 7\u00a0<\/em>by Sorkin will be available to watch on Netflix beginning October 16th.
