A new biopic on Shirley Chisolm fills in the picture on a woman who broke barriers
Shirley Chisholm made history in 1968 as the first Black woman ever elected to Congress. Four years later, the New York representative made history again when she ran for the Democratic presidential nomination, the first woman and the first African American to do so. A new Netflix movie, called simply "Shirley," tells her story.
Host Ailsa Chang speaks with Regina King, who plays Shirley Chisholm and the film's director John Ridley.
