"The documentary reveals the intent behind her activism, her radical politics and the true extent of her courage. It features a wealth of video footage, exclusive audio of Parks and a wide range of interview subjects including activists, celebrities and Rosa Parks’ own family." The documentary is based on Jeanne Theoharis' bestselling book The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks.
