WBCN and The American Revolution
The incredible, true story of how a radio station, politics, and rock
and roll changed everything.
Following sold-out film festival screenings nationwide and great
reviews, the landmark documentary continues its virtual theatrical
screenings to benefit community movie theatres and radio stations
across the country.
Experience the amazing, untold story of the early days of Boston’s
radical underground radio station WBCN, set against the dazzling and
profound social, political, and cultural changes in the late-1960s
and early-70s.
This engaging film features the era's actual sights, sounds, and
stories, set against the music and counterculture, militant anti-war
activism, civil rights struggles and emerging women’s and
LGBTQ-liberation movements.

college kid thought, felt and acted for the rest of our lives," Rob
