About Best of Enemies
A behind the scenes account of the explosive 1968 televised debates between the liberal Gore Vidal and the conservative William F Buckley Jr. and their rancorous disagreements about politics, God and sex.
The 2017 Emmy Award Winner for Outstanding Historical Documentary.
US theatrical release July 31, through Magnolia Pictures and Participant Media, and through Independent Lens/ITVS.
“One of the most surprising things about Best of Enemies is how exhilarating its central debates still seem — not only rigorously intelligent and fascinating as objects of study, but exciting as prime-time TV. ” — Calum Marsh, National Post
