the.american.revolution is coming
"The American Revolution" is a feature-length documentary film produced for festival, theatrical, and broadcast release.
It's the story of how a radio station, politics and rock and roll changed everything.
Long before Facebook and Twitter, underground radio was a powerful medium that connected listeners with the profound changes of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
"The American Revolution" chronicles free-form radio station WBCN-FM in Boston, from 1968 to 1974, through the original sights, sounds and stories, and examines the station's role in both reflecting and promoting the dramatic social, political and cultural changes that took place during the era.
