NEW YORK -- Indie vet Larry Meistrich's Film Movement banner has acquired North American rights to the Sundance Film Festival entry Chisholm '72 -- Unbought & Unbossed, a documentary about Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman to run for president. The film by Shola Lynch follows Chisholm as a first-term congresswoman from Brooklyn in 1972 and her bid for the White House under the credo, "if you can't support me, get out of my way." Along the way, the humanist Chisholm was physically attacked three times while on the campaign trail.
