Best of Enemies
A documentary about the legendary set of nationwide debates in 1968 between 2 great public intellectuals, the liberal Gore Vidal and the conservative William F. Buckley Jr.. Intended these encounters came to identify the current era of public discourse from the media, signaling that our contemporary media landscape's big bang moment when spectacle trumped argument and content substituted substance. Best of Enemies delves to the monogamous biographies of these two great leaders, and luxuriates in the language and the theater of their debates, begging the question,"What's tv done to the way we talk politics within our democracy now?"
