<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The brilliant screenplay of the Academy Award-nominated film <i>The Trial of the Chicago 7 </i>by Academy and Emmy Award-winning screenwriter and director Aaron Sorkin.</b> <p/>Sorkin's film dramatizes the 1969 trial of seven prominent anti-Vietnam War activists in Chicago. Originally there were eight defendants, but one, Bobby Seale, was severed from the trial by Judge Julius Hoffman--after Hoffman had ordered Seale bound and gagged in court. <p/>The defendants were a mix of counterculture revolutionaries such as Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, and political activists such as Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, and David Dellinger, the last a longtime pacifist who was a generation older than the others. Their lawyers argued that the right to free speech was on trial, whether that speech concerned lifestyles or politics. <p/><i>The Trial of the Chicago 7</i> stars Sacha Baron Cohen, Eddie Redmayne, Frank Langella, and Mark Rylance, among others, directed by Aaron Sorkin. This book is Sorkin's screenplay, the first of his movie screenplays ever published.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Aaron Sorkin is a writer, producer, and director who has worked in film, television, and theater.
