The Trial of the Chicago 7 is based on a true story—a true story that's currently repeating itself. "I never wanted the film to be about 1968," Aaron Sorkin, the film's writer and director, told the Hollywood Reporter. "I never wanted it to be an exercise in nostalgia or a history lesson. I wanted it to be about today. But I never imagined that today would get so much like 1968."

Is it on a streaming service? Yes, The Trial of the Chicago 7 was released on Netflix on October 16.

Is it available to rent? No, The Trial of the Chicago 7 is not available to rent; it's only on Netflix.
