ABOUT THE FILM: Shirley Chisholm was the first African American to seek the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 1972. Faced with opposition from established politicos and the media, this documentary showcases the tenacity of Chisholm who remained unbought and unbossed throughout her campaign.
