CONSPIRACY: THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 8

19871h 58m7.0 TMDb

Directed by Jeremy Kagan

Spoiler-Free

A made-for-cable-TV docudrama about the trial of the men accused of conspiring to cause protesters to riot at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Combines in an innovative manner dramatic recreations (largely faithful to the actual trial transcripts) with documentary footage and interviews with the actual defendants.
