Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted April 23, 2019 Filed Under: A+E, Film

"The belief was always that this told a story about social change and people speaking up for what is right. If it was just about Boston, it would have a limited appeal, so really from the beginning we looked at how ’BCN in fact had a much broader influence, and then we tried to tell that story."
