Wellstone! is a heartfelt and surprisingly funny biography of former Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone and his wife Sheila. The film follows the Senator’s path from his beginnings as the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants in Alexandria, Virginia, through his days as an activist college professor, to his future as a much-loved populist politician. The Wellstones died in an airplane crash eleven days before the 2002 election along with their daughter and five others.
