Plot: "Chicago 10" is about the 1968 anti-war protests at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the ensuing Chicago Conspiracy Trial in 1969.
wow, very interesting documentary. The animation of court transcripts with modern actors playing the real people, modern music and a message that is very much applicable to today's anti-war sentiment. One of the best done documentaries I've ever seen and I thought the content as well as the message was interesting enough plus strong language and violence, Yippies are very funny at times and the pigs are so lame but in the end people on both sides do wrong, and some do right. My early pick for an Oscar for a documentary
A film that will enrage you when you discover the real police-state style brutaliy against peaceful protesters during the 1968 democratic convention. Tienanmen Square in America
Animated trial segments with celebrity voice actors distract from more gripping news footage about those who protested a government which denied its citizens their rights.
This is one of the untold stories about the power and corruption in the belly of Chicago's power system and unless you're told, you'll never know.
A perfect companion piece to Robert Greenwald's Steal This Movie (2000), Brett Morgan's Chicago 10 is a fascinating documentary made of actual footage from the controversial period surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention, animated recreations of the court proceedings starring various famous voices as such people as Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, all scored to music befitting the tone (Eminem, "Sabatoge" by Beastie Boys, etc.). A terrifically entertaining history lesson.
Listen, I saw the preimer of this flick at Sundance, and I am telling you, go see it, I do not know when it will be released, or how many theaters are going to take it, but it is a wonderful film, there is info for this film at http://www.participate.net/files/C10_main.html
check it out. The movie is a mix of live action and animation, which is wonderful, Chicago ten also uses contemporary music to tie the events of 1968, to the events of today, Really I highly reccomend it.
