The movie is good. Sharp dialogue, great performances. But I read some comments comparing the Chicago 7 with Antifa. That's the most uninformed opinion if there ever was. Main differences? Let's start with the most obvious: the Chi 7 were fighting for freedom of speech, Antifa is well known for silencing speech that they disagree with. Another one? (For the most part) the protest were very peaceful during the 60s, very intelectual, they were protesting the Vietnam War. Antifa is extremely violent and his members were masks, boots and handmade weapons. The last one? The Chi 7 were proud americans, left leaning, progressive, open minded americans, Antifa is known to burn flags and chant anti-american slogans. So get your fact straight.
