-An excerpted description of the film from PBS-
Grace Lee Boggs, 98, is a Chinese American philosopher, writer, and activist in Detroit with a thick FBI file and a surprising vision of what an American revolution can be. Rooted for 75 years in the labor, civil rights and Black Power movements, she challenges a new generation to throw off old assumptions, think creatively and redefine revolution for our times.
"This is not an issue film, nor is it about a celebrity or an urgent injustice that rallies you to take action...It's about an elderly woman who spends most of her days sitting in her living room thinking and hatching ideas about the next American revolution. But if you catch wind of some of those ideas, they just might change the world."
A co-presentation with the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM). Winner, Audience Award, Best Documentary Feature, 2013 Los Angeles Film Festival.
