Hearing her speak her finely honed mind in unscripted, un-"handled" terms is worth the price of admission in itself.
Her 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.
Ultimately, the adored candidate looks as if she were really running for posterity, not for the presidency - a noble, lesser accomplishment.
Skillfully reinforces Chisholm as a refreshingly quixotic populist, running on fervor and indignation.
Rather than seeming dated, Chisholm's moxie and commitment is a refreshing antidote to the opportunism and cynicism that rules the political roost today.
Compelling documentary.
Solid, straightforward docu should prove a durable broadcast and educational item for years to come.
