Overview

A BBC-produced docudrama reconstructing the trial of the Chicago Eight, using courtroom transcripts as its primary source. Directed by Christopher Burstall, the film dramatizes the prosecution of anti–Vietnam War protesters charged with conspiracy and incitement, presenting the proceedings as a precise trial reenactment grounded in documented testimony rather than fictionalized narrative.
