From Netflix The Chicago Trial 7 will be available for free on your YouTube channel for 48 hours, starting on Friday, February 19, at 12pm Pacific time, according to a company blog post (via The wrap) Writer and director Aaron Sorkin said the film is being shown free of charge to “celebrate the anniversary of the verdict in this historic trial”, and he praised the people portrayed in the film as “the true patriots who inspired a generation – indeed, generations. “
The film focuses on the eight Vietnam War protesters who were accused of inciting a riot and conspiracy to protest during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Sorkin is no stranger to the political issue, mainly working on The West Wing and A few good men, even though he is best known for films like The social network and Steve Jobs.
This is not the first time that Netflix makes part of its content free on YouTube. Last April, he made several of his documentaries available on the platform, many of which still appear to be on the air, including 13th, Take down the house, and episodes of nature documentaries Our planet.
Providing Netflix original movies and shows for free on YouTube can be a way to introduce your content to people, especially since it no longer offers free trials for your service.
If you are interested in watching the movie but do not have Netflix, it will be available on the Netflix YouTube channel starting on Friday.
