The Chicago 8 plot

"A true story based on the most infamous court case in America's history"

America was divided over the Vietnam War in 1968. As a result of the growing anti-war movement, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced that he would not run for reelection. Democrat Robert Kennedy was assassinated that summer. The Democratic National Convention was held in Chicago where the leaders of the anti-war movement planned a protest. During the protest, Chicago Mayor Daley deployed police forces to brutally contain it, sparking riots. One person was killed, hundreds were injured and thousands were arrested. A year later, President-elect Richard Nixon gave the green light to prosecute eight men charged with conspiracy to instigate a riot. The FBI took them to Chicago, where they were tried; 'The Chicago 8'.
