Review of The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) by Indianaparkwars — 26 Oct 2020

This was an excellent courtroom drama. It angered me and inspired me at the same time. I dread seeing the corruption and evil perpetuated by our own system and authorities and to see that something from the late 60's is still prevalent now is very disheartening.

I am inspired though. I would like to continue learning more about politics and reading and becoming an activist. I really want to make a positive change in the world. As of now, this one is sitting at my number 1 movie of the year.

I think it's excellent but the only fault I would say it has is that it slightly comes off as Oscar bait or as a typical historical drama, almost commercialized and pushed out. But, the story is an excellent and relevant one that kept me interested the whole time and really showed how excellent writing is. Also, I adore movies that combine unlikely and different groups or types of people and put them in one room together. I also love when movies cover social issues like racial injustice or political activism.
