WBCN and The American Revolution is coming!
"WBCN and The American Revolution" is a feature-length documentary film produced for festival, theatrical, and broadcast release.
It's the story of how in the late-1960s and early-1970s, "a radio station, politics and rock and roll changed everything."
Long before Facebook and Twitter, before the Internet and GPS, underground radio connected listeners and fueled the profound social, political and cultural changes of the era.
"WBCN and The American Revolution" chronicles free-form radio station WBCN-FM and Boston's other underground media, from 1968 to 1974, through the extraordinary original sights, sounds and stories.
