Conspiracy: The Trial of the Chicago 8 (1987)

6.5 | May 16, 1987 (US) | TV Movie, Drama | 01:58

A made-for-cable-TV docudrama about the trial of the men accused of conspiring to cause protesters to riot at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Combines in an innovative manner dramatic recreations (largely faithful to the actual trial transcripts) with documentary footage and interviews with the actual defendants.
