FILM: Back before the anti-war moment turned into elitist popularity contest full of self-serving faux-altruism, you know back when they actually made an effort to stop war?, the 1968 Democratic Convention became a sizzling affair after demonstrators and the Chicago Police Department clashed, resulting with the U.S. government charging "eight political activists with crossing state lines as part of a conspiracy to incite riot." And Chicago 10 relives those halcyon days with "frenzied" footage of the following riots, interviews with the pinched protestors, and a nod to Bobby Seale, the co-chair of the Black Panther Party, who "was bound, gagged and handcuffed to his chair by Judge Julius Hoffman."

7:15 p.m., 9:25 // Red Vic (1727 Haight Street) // $8.50
