Thought some folks might be interested in this. They are streaming through community radio stations and film art houses/festivals to raise money - split between the radio/film sponsors and the documentary

About the Film
The amazing, untold story of the radical underground radio station WBCN-FM, set against the dazzling and profound social, political, and cultural changes that took place in Boston and nationally during the late-1960s and early-70s. Told through the actual sights, sounds, and stories of a compelling cast of characters who connected through the radio station, exploding music and countercultural scenes, militant anti-war activism, civil rights struggles, and the emerging womens and LGBTQ-liberation movements.
It's "the incredible, true story of how a radio station, politics, and rock n roll changed everything."
Directed by Peabody Award-winner Bill Lichtenstein who began working at WBCN at age 14 in 1970.

(92,813 posts)I was in the Boston burbs during all that and "BCN" was IT. We all sat up and took notice and it was on every FM radio in the greater Boston area. And I am in some of those pictures!
WBCN was the radio revolution's frontrunner and it took off all over the country. Have to see this movie.
