This week Elizabeth covers the 2020 film The Trial of the Chicago 7 which is a historical drama that discusses the riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The protest was wild... but the trial was even wilder! Since Sabrina didn't have the chance to sit down and watch this movie she is taken through a range of emotions... love, laughter, tears... you get the idea.
As always, thank you for supporting the show!
