The incredible, true story of how a radio station, politics, and rock and roll changed everything. 

WBCN and the American Revolution tells the story of how a Boston rock radio station helped ignite the cultural and political revolution of the late 1960s and beyond, becoming both participant and platform for the anti-war movement, civil rights, women’s and LGBTQ rights, and the rise of countercultural media.
