"Segregation Now!, Segregation Tomorrow! Segregation Forever!." With these words, Alabama Governor George Wallace thrust himself on to the American political stage. This epic bio directed by the legendary John Frankenheimer, stars Gary Sinise as the infamous politician and segregationist George Wallace. Many have portrayed Wallace as a racist but Frankenheimer's film suggests that it was his lust for power and status that made him bedfellows with racists and one of the most destructive and most hated American politicians of his time. Sinise captures both the corruption and the belated search for redemption. He might have been President if a bullet hadn't paralyzed him during the 1972 campaign.
