Season 1 Episode 9 | 9m 53s | CC

In the post-Woodstock and Vietnam era, a Black seaman and a trailblazing female sailor fight to shape their Navy paths amid race riots on ships and limited opportunities. Driven by bold, controversial Admiral Elmo “Bud” Zumwalt—praised by President Clinton as, “the Navy’s conscience”—their lives are greatly impacted, mirroring America’s tumultuous journey toward equality.
