Blood of Angels dramatizes the political life of George C. Wallace during the Civil Rights Movement. In order to be elected Alabama’s governor, Wallace abandons his belief in equality and embraces segregation with disastrous effects, including the the bombing deaths of four girls in Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church.
