Aussie NetFlix doesn't have The Paper Chase .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paper_Chase_(film) ..
but a search for it served up one with some familiar names in the first five min.

Thomas Emmet Hayden (December 11, 1939 – October 23, 2016) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Hayden

Jerry Clyde Rubin (July 14, 1938 – November 28, 1994) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Rubin

Robert George Seale (born October 22, 1936[1]) [...] The Trial of the Chicago 8
Bobby Seale was one of the original "Chicago Eight" defendants charged with conspiracy and inciting a riot in the wake of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. While in prison, Seale said, "To be a Revolutionary is to be an Enemy of the state. To be arrested for this struggle is to be a Political Prisoner."[23] The evidence against Seale was slim, as he did not participate in activist planning for the convention's protests and had gone to Chicago as a last-minute replacement for activist Eldridge Cleaver.[24][25] He was in Chicago for only two days of the convention.[25]

During the trial, Judge Julius Hoffman ordered Seale bound and gagged in the courtroom because of his outspoken objections to his personal lack of legal representation. He was repeatedly bound and gagged for several days of the trial.[26][27]

Though he was never convicted in the case, on November 5, 1969, Judge Hoffman sentenced Seale to four years in prison for 16 counts of contempt, each count for three months of imprisonment, because of his outbursts during the trial. He eventually ordered Seale severed from the case. Proceedings against the remaining defendants resulted in their being renamed the "Chicago Seven".[citation needed] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#The_Trial_of_the_Chicago_8

The image of Seal bound and gagged in the courtroom had slipped from consciousness
(things not talked about over some 55 years tend to.) It won't now, for a long time.
