In Daniel Berrigan's The Trial of the Catonsville Nine, The Actors' Gang of Los Angeles brings to life the dramatic historical trial in 1968 of two Catholic priests and seven fellow activists who committed what they believed to be an act of civil disobedience in protest of the war in Vietnam. Their civil dissent galvanized the national protest movement. While condemned as criminals in a court of law, the Catonsville Nine were hailed as patriots in the streets during one of America's most turbulent eras.
