The American Revolution: December 2009 Update:
This is the first of our regular updates about the production of "The
American Revolution," a feature-length documentary film for festival,
theatrical and broadcast release. This non-profit production tells the
story of the early days of underground free-form radio station WBCN-
FM, in Boston, through the dramatic sights and sounds of the era,
combined with compelling first-person accounts and never-before heard
stories. It is being produced by the Peabody Award-winning
Lichtenstein Creative Media. The film will be accompanied by an
national educational and community engagement campaign and is already
in the PBS outreach pipeline for 2011.

Who is making the film?
"The American Revolution" is being produced by Peabody Award-winning
print and broadcast journalist and documentary filmmaker Bill
Lichtenstein, a former ABC News investigative producer and winner of
more than 60 major journalism honors. Lichtenstein began working at
WBCN as a newscaster and announcer in 1970, at the age of 14. The
production team includes Director of Photography Boyd Estus, cameraman
of Oscar-winning and nominated documentaries; Archivist David Bieber,
who brings to the film his four decades at the center of Boston's
music and media scenes, including 16 years at WBCN; and Sound
Recordist George Shafnacker, whose work includes documentaries for
"National Geographic," "The American Experience," "Frontline" and
"Nova."

The advisory board for "The American Revolution" includes MIT
Professor Noam Chomsky; musician and producer Al Kooper; Pat
Aufderheide of the Center for Social Media; and filmmaker Jeff
Feuerzeig, whose documentary on musician Daniel Johnston was awarded
"Best Director" at Sundance.

"The American Revolution" is a production of Lichtenstein Creative
Media, which has a 20-year track record of developing, producing and
distributing award-winning and highly-acclaimed documentary films, and
public TV and radio programs. The documentary is non-profit, and all
contributions are tax-deductible through the film's 501(c)(3) fiscal
sponsorship by Filmmakers Collaborative.
