‘Trial of the Chicago 7’ to be made available free without a Netflix subscription to commemorate anniversary
To commemorate the anniversary of the trial verdict, The Trial of the Chicago 7 will be made available globally on YouTube for 48 hours. This allows people around the world to watch the film for free without a Netflix subscription. The film will be on the Netflix YouTube Channel beginning at 12am PST on Friday, February 19th.
“Since my initial introduction fourteen years ago, my relationship to the story of The Trial of the Chicago 7 has changed significantly. When we began shooting last winter, we knew the story we were telling was not only an important chapter of American history, but was plenty relevant to current events. We certainly didn’t need it to get more relevant, but it did. To commemorate the anniversary of the verdict in this historic trial, we’ve made the film available on YouTube for 48 hours starting Friday, February 19th at 12:00am PT, remembering the real patriots who inspired a generation – actually, generations – to take to the streets and uphold the foundations of our US Constitution, along with the courageous voices that continue to do so today. It’s our honor to share their story with the world.”
