Bummed Project Runway is done for the season? Don't worry because there's still some quality viewing for you tonight as Chicago 10, Brett Morgan's film about the 1968 Chicago DNC riots and ensuing trial, gets its television debut courtesy of PBS' series Independent Lens. The film mixes animation with archival footage of the incidents and features the vocal work of Mark Ruffalo, Hank Azaria and Jeffrey Wright. We caught a screening of it at least year's CIFF and, in spite of a few qualms, thought it was worth catching. Chicago 10 airs tonight at 9 p.m. on WTTW Ch. 11, with a replay early Friday morning at 2:30 a.m.

This August will be the 40th anniversary of one of the CPD’s darkest hours (oh, but there are so many to choose from): the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The milestone will be commemorated on the silver screen with the release of a new movie, Chicago 10, which opens in theaters nationwide tomorrow. [See our October review.]
