“raises meaningful questions and keeps them profitably open”

New York Times

“One of our best documents of the civil rights era”

the Village Voice

“a deeply moving examination of the power of a single individual to affect change”

the Hollywood Reporter

“Grace Lee’s documentary is a glorious feat of editing — in content, visually, and of sound”

the Village Voice

“Ah, revolution — so that’s what it can look like. This beautiful movie (and its amazing subject) makes clear not only why we need revolution, but what revolution can mean for those of us who live under the yoke of less obvious dictatorships.”

Andy Bichlbaum, The Yes Men

GLB

Grace Lee Boggs passed away peacefully this morning. We are so grateful for the vision of justice and human connection that she gave us and feel incredibly privileged to have been able to share her story with others.

POV is streaming the film for free until Nov 4: www.pbs.org/pov

Also available on Netflix streaming.

Grace Lee Boggs turns 100 on June 27, 2015

We’d love to have you reflect on what Grace means to you. Share on social media with a statement or photo or video (use your smart phone) and use the hashtags #GraceLeeBoggs100 and #AmericanRevolutionary. We will select a few to highlight on our own social media and if we do we’ll send you a FREE copy of the film soundtrack.

Or, you can also share this clip from the film and wish Grace a happy birthday. Is your imagination rich enough?
