简 介
'Best of Enemies' is a documentary about the legendary series of
nationally televised 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 day, these
vitriolic and explosive encounters came to define the modern era of
public discourse in the media, marking the big bang moment of our
contemporary media landscape when spectacle trumped content and argument
replaced substance. Best of Enemies delves into the entangled
biographies of these two great thinkers and luxuriates in the language
and the theater of their debates, begging the question, 'What has
television done to the way we discuss politics in our democracy today?'
