As both director and screenwriter, Fergus controls several key components of his film, but he squanders his opportunity on a grandiose vision that never materializes. Parts...
...should I vote for you? -Brittany Cliff, Little Rock, Ark. Because I believe that America's greatness is not in its government but in ordinary people. I know what it is like to start at the bottom, and I am very mindful of how hard people have to work to make it. I have been an underdog in everything I have undertaken - not just politically, but throughout my entire life...
