Chicago 10

A new movie depicting the true historical events of the Chicago demonstrations and riots at the 1968 Democratic convention has recently opened. What is shown in the movie will seem unbelievable to those who did not live though the times. The movie should be seen by everyone because it is a reminder what REAL activism (and a REAL police state) looks like. It also shows the extremes of the justice system in action. Because no film/video equipment was allowed in the courtroom, the trial portion of the movie is animated. This now seems fitting given the circus atmosphere of the trial.

"The Yippie ecological conference will spew out an angry report denouncing Chi's poison in the lakes and streams, industrial honkey fumes from white killer industrialists and exhaust murder from a sick hamburger society of automobile freaks with precise total assault solutions to these problems.


"Poets will rewrite the Bill of Rights in precise language detailing 10,000 areas of freedom in our own language to replace the confusing and vague rhetoric of 200 years ago.
