Eddie Redmayne Virtually Attends the Premiere of The Trial of the Chicago 7

Eddie Redmayne virtually zoomed into the premiere of his new film, The Trial of the Chicago 7, last night, October 13. The premiere was held by Netflix at the Los Angeles Drive In Event at the Rose Bowl.

Elvis Mitchell and Aaron Sorkin were on hand at the event to talk about the new film. In the film, “What was intended to be a peaceful protest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention turned into a violent clash with police and the National Guard. The organizers of the protest—including Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden and Bobby Seale—were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot and the trial that followed was one of the most notorious in history.”

The Trial of the Chicago 7 will premiere on Netflix on October 16.
