The 43rd Mill Valley Film Festival (Oct 8-18, 2020) presents an Ensemble Spotlight Conversation with 'The Trial of the Chicago 7' writer/director Aaron Sorkin, and cast members Eddie Redmayne, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Sacha Baron Cohen and Jeremy Strong – Moderated by Peter Coyote.

What was intended to be a peaceful protest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention turned into a violent clash with police and the National Guard. The organizers of the protest—including Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden, and Bobby Seale—were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot and the trial that followed was one of the most notorious in history.
