film description

Synopsis:  In 1971, President Nixon visited Mobile, Alabama for 104 minutes, during which time he shook 100 feet of hands, lost a cuff link, and shared a stage with his biggest political rival, Governor George Wallace. DICK-GEORGE, TENN-TOM is a sardonic look at their rivalry, the creation of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, and the attempt on Wallace's life less than a year later.

Screenings:  Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival; DocuFest Atlanta; Indie Memphis Film Festival
