DESCRIPTION:Grace Lee Boggs, a writer, activist, and philosopher rooted for more than 
 70 years in the African American movement who devoted her life to an 
 evolving revolution that encompasses the contradictions of America’s past 
 and its potentially radical future.\n\nThe documentary film, AMERICAN 
 REVOLUTIONARY: THE EVOLUTION OF GRACE LEE BOGGS, plunges us into Boggs’s 
 lifetime of vital thinking and action, traversing the major U.S. social 
 movements of the last century; from labor to civil rights, to Black Power, 
 feminism, the Asian American and environmental justice movements and 
 beyond. Boggs’s constantly evolving strategy—her willingness to 
 re-evaluate and change tactics in relation to the world shifting around 
 her—drives the story forward. Angela Davis, Bill Moyers, Bill Ayers, Ruby 
 Dee and Ossie Davis, Danny Glover, Boggs’s late husband James and a host 
 of Detroit comrades across three generations help shape this uniquely 
 American story. As she wrestles with a Detroit in ongoing transition, 
 contradictions of violence and non-violence, Malcolm X and Martin Luther 
 King, the 1967 rebellions, and non-linear notions of time and history, 
 Boggs emerges with an approach that is radical in its simplicity and 
 clarity: revolution is not an act of aggression or merely a protest. 
 Revolution, Boggs says, is about something deeper within the human 
 experience — the ability to transform oneself to transform the world. 
 \n\nGrace Lee Boggs died in October last year. She would have been 101 on
