The Trial Of The Chicago 7 - Undated, unspecified draft  script by Aaron Sorkin - hosted by: Deadline Hollywood - in pdf format

In Chicago 1968, the Democratic Party Convention was met with protests from activists like the moderate Students for a Democratic Society led by Tom Hayden and the militant Yippies led by Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, which led to violent confrontations with the local authorities. As a result, seven of the accused ringleaders are arraigned on charges like Conspiracy by the hostile Nixon administration, including Bobby Seale of the Black Panthers who was not involved in the incident. What follows is an unfair trial presided by the belligerent Judge Hoffman (No relation) and prosecuted by a reluctant but duty-bound Richard Schultz. As their pro bono lawyers face such odds, Hayden and his fellows are frustrated by the Yippies' outrageous antics undermining their defense in defiance of the system even while Seale is denied a chance to defend himself his way. Along the way, the Chicago 7 clash in their political philosophies even as they learn they need each other in this fight.

Strange script so far. About 15 pages of scatter shot buildup, then a five page conversation. But you get a foreboding feeling of gloom and danger. Very interesting.

Thanks Bob for the heads on on these from Sony Pictures Classics.

I’ve never read a script that affected me as much as this one. All the while without giving me a satisfying conclusion.

Anyone else who has read this I’d love to hear your thoughts.

This was mos def a WTF film and script.  It kept me engaged because I was expecting some kind of explanation at the end.  Which didn't come and I wasn't surprised.

Don

Yeah I was surprised by the end. Pissed actually. Didn’t see the film yet, though I did seek out an interview with Charlie Kauffman that kind of explained everything. That said, it really did effect me in a profound way. I guess that’s the best I can hope for. I feel weird.
