The organizers of the protest—including Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden and Bobby Seale—were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot and the trial that followed was one of the most notorious in history. In English. Rated R for language throughout, some violence, bloody images and drug use. Director: Aaron Sorkin (US 2020) 129 min.
