Just got done watching "The Chicago 8"

I knew a little about what happened before watching the film from other documentaries. It was a little before my time. It was a shocker. I never thought such a travesty of justice could happen in America. I couldn't believe what that judge got away with. I wonder if something like that could still happen with the internet and cameras everywhere. Definitely worth a view if you don't know what happened in that courtroom.

Netflix has a couple of good documentaries on the 60's/70's. I think they are important because we seem to be heading in that direction again.
