Best of Enemies
A documentary about the mythical set of nationwide debates in 1968 between two great public intellectuals, the liberal Gore Vidal and the conservative William F. Buckley Jr.. Intended as commentary on the issues of their own day, these encounters that were vitriolic and explosive came to specify the modern age of public discourse from the media, marking their media landscape's bigbang period when spectacle trumped articles and argument altered substance. Best of Enemies delves into the entangled biographies of both these two great leaders, and luxuriates in the language and also the theater of their disagreements, begging the question,"What has tv done to the way we discuss politics inside our democracy today?"
