Review of Chicago 10 (2008) by Scott M — 25 Dec 2008
Chicago 10 delves into the chaotic world of the 1960's where the 1968 Democratic National Convention was the setting for one of the darkest times in history as Chicago becomes more like a police state in trying to control anti-war protesters, and what follows is a trial for eight high profile leaders of the anti-war movement which was as ludicrous as the Vietnam War itself.
Chicago 10 mixes animation and archived footage to tell an effective story about what the people can do if pushed to get their voices heard. The film features a great cast including Jeffrey Wright, Hank Azaria, Mark Ruffalo, and the late Roy Scheider, who portray the major players of the Chicago Conspiracy Trail in 1969.
Some 40 years later the events that unfolded in Chicago in 1968 are still just as socially relevant as they were back then, and Chicago 10 is a very engaging film that you shouldn't miss.
