This documentary feature combines archival footage and animation as it explores the Vietnam War protests at the August 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the participants’ subsequent criminal trials.
According to Honess Roe’s Taxonomy of animated documentary, this animated work is a documentary. It was created frame by frame based on interview recordings and was received by a large audience at the same time. I personally agree with Honess Roe’s point of view in terms of work value and value, which is “animation is a fruitful means of documentary representation in part.” However, from a visual point of view, I still think it is controversial.
