A Boston (R)Evolution

 Boston’s traditional old-school politics are challenged when the top candidates in the historic 2021 mayoral race are four non-white women.The film traces Mel King’s 1983 mayoral run and Boston’s busing crisis of the 1970s, setting the stage for candidates who never envisioned themselves in decision-making positions; elections that will be increasingly decided by Americans inspired to vote for the first time; and resistance from those uncomfortable with anything that threatens the status quo.
