Chicago 10 (film)

Chicago 10 is a 2007 American documentary film directed by Brett Morgen. The film chronicles the events surrounding the protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the subsequent trial of the activists who became known as the Chicago Eight (later Seven after Bobby Seale's case was severed). The film uses archival footage, animation, and voice-over performances to tell the story.

The film's title refers to the original ten defendants indicted for conspiracy and inciting to riot: Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Lee Weiner, Bobby Seale, and their lawyers William Kunstler and Leonard Weinglass.

Chicago 10 premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize. The film utilizes a unique visual style, blending historical footage with animated sequences designed to represent the thoughts and feelings of the protestors and the political climate of the era. Prominent voice actors such as Hank Azaria, Dylan McDermott, Liev Schreiber, and Mark Ruffalo were employed to give voice to the real-life figures involved.
