Best of Enemies
A documentary about the mythical set of nationwide debates in 1968 between two great people intellectuals, the liberal Gore Vidal and the conservative William F. Buckley Jr.. Intended on the issues of their day, these experiences that were vitriolic and explosive came to specify the age of public discourse in the media, signaling that our social media landscape's big bang moment when spectacle trumped articles and debate replaced substance. Best of Enemies delves into the entangled biographies of both these two great leaders, and luxuriates in the speech and the theater of their disagreements, begging the question,"What has tv done to how we discuss politics inside our democracy now?"
