Best of Enemies
A documentary about the mythical collection of nationally televised debates in 1968 between two great public intellectuals, the liberal Gore Vidal and the conservative William F. Buckley Jr.. Intended as comment on the issues of their own day, these volatile and vitriolic experiences found define the current era of community discourse in the media, signaling that the big bang period of our contemporary media arena when spectacle trumped articles and argument altered substance. Best of Enemies delves into the entangled biographies of these two great thinkers, and luxuriates in the speech and also the theater of their disagreements, begging the question,"What's tv done into the way we discuss politics in our democracy now?"
