Directed by Peabody Award-winner Bill Lichtenstein, who worked at WBCN-FM starting at age 14 in 1970, and who later was program director of WBRU-FM, the film follows the radical, free-form radio station set against the political, social, and cultural upheaval in Boston and nationally in the late-1960s and early-70s. It''s "the incredible, true story of how a radio station, politics, and rock and roll changed everything."
