I loved this film when it came out. It didn't do very well 'at the box office' since Americans have a short attention span and seem to have forgotten about how amazing the 1960s were.
In 1968 young people from throughout America came to Chicago to protest the Vietnam War.
The Chicago Police, under urban dictator Mayor Richard Daley, attacked and beat the students - they didn't even care that TV cameras were filming everything.
Then, to make matters worse, the US government arrested some of the organizers of the peaceful protest and put them on trial.
You can see what justice in America was like in 1968 and judge whether it's any different now. Imagine what putting Snowden on trial would look like, for instance. He would probably get the same 'justice' that these innocent people got.
Please enjoy this film:
