This bizarre amalgam of "Alice in Wonderland" and the transcripts of the Chicago 7 Trial makes for an interesting commentary on the American judicial system. - IMDB A feature film made at the time of the trial, based on the trial transcript and distributed by New Line Cinema, The Great Chicago Conspiracy Circus, by Cannes-winning director Kerry Feltham, was released in January 2008 on DVD. The film won the Berlin Film Festival jury prize, as well as positive reviews from the New York Times and Newsweek. - Wikipedia
Directed by Kerry Feltham, The Great Chicago Conspiracy Circus leans on a strong ensemble — Mel Dixon, James T. Lawrence, Calvin Butler — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1970.
