The trailer for "Chicago 10," Bruce Morgan's new documentary on he trial of Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, and the other activists who were charged with conspiring to incite violence during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Morgan has drawn on archival footage to set the context of the trial, but since no cameras were allowed in the courtroom he's animated the trial scenes based off of the court transcripts. It opens at the end of this month, just about six months before the '08 Democratic convention kicks off in Denver.
