3. The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)
Helmed by Aaron Sorkin, ‘The Trial of the Chicago 7’ tells the story of a group of anti-Vietnam War protesters who get charged with conspiracy and crossing state lines with the intention of inciting riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Among them are Students for a Democratic Society leader Tom Hayden (Eddie Redmayne), Youth International Party members Abbie Hoffman (Sacha Baron Cohen) and Jerry Rubin (Jeremy Strong), and Black Panther Party national chairman Bobby Seale (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), who has not even been at the incident, but is held accused by the hostile Nixon administration. As the visibly unfair trial proceeds, the defendants are prosecuted by the reluctant yet duty-bound assistant federal prosecutor Richard Schultz (Joseph Gordon-Levitt).
