The official Netflix synopsis reads:
What was intended to be a peaceful protest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention turned into a violent clash with police and the National Guard.
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.
Written and directed by Oscar-winner Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network), The Trial of the Chicago 7 cast also includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Frank Langella, Eddie Redmayne, Mark Rylance, Jeremy Strong, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Michael Keaton, John Carroll Lynch and Alex Sharp.
Meanwhile, Sacha Baron Cohen is set to make return with his infamous character Borat, having completed a sequel to the 2006 film.
The Trial of the Chicago 7 will arrive in select movie theatres from September and can be streamed on Netflix from October 16 onwards.
