Writer-director Brett Morgen's docu Chicago 10, which revisits the famous Chicago Conspiracy Trial that followed the 1968 Democratic National Convention, will open the 2007 Sundance Film Fest on Jan. 18, says Variety.
Morgen's docu combines historical storytelling, archival footage, interviews, animation and music to tell the story of the eight anti-war protesters who were put on trial following the momentous anti-war protests disrupting the convention.
Defendants repped a broad cross-section of the anti-war movement, from Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin to pacifist David Dellinger. Seven of the defendants were repped by Leonard Weinglass and William Kunstler, while Bobby Seale, co-chair of the Black Panther Party, defended himself.
Annual festival runs through Jan. 28. |
