A group of reporters take notes, standing at a press conference that was called at someone’s house by Abbie Hoffman. Hoffman answers questions about the Chicago Seven trial. Says he's proud of what his group was able to do at that trial - gave the court system a heart attack rather than giving it to the judge, which was the initial strategy. Says their work started to raise awareness among citizens across America about the injustices that go on frequently in US courthouses, at practically every trial, including how juries are picked, how judges rule, and the laws themselves.
