This film offers an intimate portrayal of Shirley Chisholm, the trailblazing political icon who became the first Black Congresswoman and the first Black woman to run for President of the United States—an achievement that came at great personal cost. It chronicles her groundbreaking and historic presidential campaign, drawing from exclusive, in-depth conversations with her family, friends, and those who knew her best. (2 hrs., PG-13)
