The True Story Behind Aaron Sorkin s Golden Globe-Winning Movie The Trial of the Chicago 7 People 3/1/2021 Aaron Sorkin took home the Golden Globe for best screenplay motion picture for The Trial of the Chicago 7 on Sunday, over 50 years after the events that inspired the film transpired. With a star-studded cast including Eddie Redmayne, Frank Langella, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sacha Baron Cohen, Sorkin delivers his take on the real-life trial that shook the U.S. in 1969. The Netflix film is based on the trial of eight anti-Vietnam War protestors Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, David Dellinger, Lee Weiner, John Froines and Bobby Seale who were charged with conspiracy and crossing state lines with the intention of inciting the riots that erupted at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
