Chicago 70
Réalisé par
1970
In 1969, a Chicago court spent six months hearing the case of the men who became known as the Chicago Seven, who had been protesting at the 1968 Democratic National Convention and were arrested and charged with conspiracy to riot. Directed by Kerry Feltham, this 1971 film started out as a play conceived by a Toronto theatre group based on the trial transcripts. (...) The film makes state repression visible and is simultaneously an act of condensing alienation. (Festival information, Berlinale 2020)
