Except for a brief foray to the New York Times, reporter Molly Ivins spent her entire professional life in her home state of Texas. As captivatingly depicted in this film, the firebrand journalist blazed trails in every direction, from her dogged investigation into political machinations to her passionate, lifelong belief in the power of the people. A hometown hero worthy of national distinction, Ivins and her life story come to life in this uplifting testament of a lovable rabble-rouser. In her words, “let me tell you a secret about politicians: They’re scared to death of us.”
