Chicago 10

There were so many good films at the Chicago International Film Festival this year, but I missed many of them. One I was particularly sad about missing was a film called Chicago 10. There is next to no information on this movie outside of the one paragraph wikipedia article and the short bio that was in the pamphlet for the film festival. I can't even find a real release date. I'll just have to keep looking out I guess. The film debuted in the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.

So this is what I can gather from what I've found. The movie seems to be about the group of protestors that were arrested after the 1968 democratic convention. Most noteably Abbie Hoffman and Bobby Seale. It follows thier trial and the actual protest it's self. The movie uses real vintage film from the protest, interviews, and is even animated at times. I couldn't even find a trailer, so instead I've decided to post the few clips I could find. It looks quite interesting and if anyone finds out anything new about it, drop me a line. Also, if anyone actually saw it, tell me what you thought of it.
