Description

In this sequence from Crisis, the cross-cutting, the simultaneity of the actions and the ubiquity of communication channels bring this historic event—the conflict between George Wallace, governor of Alabama, and the Department of Justice following a federal court ruling allowing African American students to attend the University of Alabama—a sense of temporal depth, making palpable the tension in Robert Kennedy’s office (then Attorney General) and the uncertainty of the outcome.
