“Chicago’s 7”: Director and cast reveal how they brought this powerful story to life; Check!

The acclaimed historical drama ‘The 7 of Chicago’ (The Trial Of the Chicago 7) is one of the headlines of awards season, and now Netflix has released a new promo video in which director Aaron Sorkin and the cast have told how they brought this powerful and true tale to life.

What was supposed to be a peaceful protest at the 1968 National Democratic Party Convention turned into a violent confrontation with the police and the US National Guard. The protest organizers – which included names like Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden and Bobby Seale – were charged with conspiring to incite disorder, and the resulting trial was one of the most notorious in the ‘history.

The cast consists of Sacha Baron Coen, Eddie Redmayne, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, William Hurt, Mark Rylance, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jeremy Strong, Frank Langella and Michael Keaton.

The film, produced by Steven Spielberg, has been in the fridge for over a decade and will finally start to work.

In addition to directing, Sorkin signs the production script.
