Brett Morgen’s Chicago 10 to open Sundance ’07…
I’m so glad I booked my Sundance travel to arrive the day before the festival this year. I’ll actually be able to make it to the opening night film! Today Sundance Film Festival announced a documentary would fill the coveted opening night slot. I can’t think of another film festival that is brave enough to open with a doc. In 2004 Stacy Peralta’s Riding Giants opened and January 18, 2007 will open with Brett Morgen’s (The Kid Stays in the Picture, On the Ropes) Chicago 10. The film tells the story of the anti-war protests at the 1967 Democratic National Convention.
