Leave your thoughts about Chisholm '72: Unbought & Unbossed.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittHearing her speak her finely honed mind in unscripted, un-"handled" terms is worth the price of admission in itself. |
| Film ThreatBrad SlagerHer skills and personality were more polished than most contemporary leaders, and if she were running for office today, unshackled by societal prejudice that existed in her era, she would be a force to be reckoned with. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJames GreenbergRather than seeming dated, Chisholm's moxie and commitment is a refreshing antidote to the opportunism and cynicism that rules the political roost today. |
| Village VoiceMelissa AndersonSkillfully reinforces Chisholm as a refreshingly quixotic populist, running on fervor and indignation. |
| The New York TimesNed MartelUltimately, the adored candidate looks as if she were really running for posterity, not for the presidency - a noble, lesser accomplishment. |
| VarietyDennis HarveySolid, straightforward docu should prove a durable broadcast and educational item for years to come. |
| User ReviewIboC.An excellent documentary about a fearless lady and her bold campaign for the nation's top political office. Rather than wait for the "right time," Chisholm stepped into the presidential race in 1972 as not only the first black person, but also the first female Democrat to mount a serious presidential campaign. She also did it on her own terms. |
