Description:
This film is loosely based on the life of Alan Freed, a Cleveland radio DJ who popularized rock and roll for American teenagers in the 1950s. Freed sparked considerable controversy. Conservatives condemned him for corrupting young people with rock and roll. Racists opposed him for broadcasting African American music to a white audience. He faced persecution from law enforcement and was ultimately undone by payola scandals.
