Plot:

'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 a 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?'

Review:

A fascinating and in-depth look and the Buckley-Vidal debates and the precursors to the world we find ourselves in today. More interesting since I lived through this period and watched these debates in real time. 

We find ourselves in a world today not much different than the world of 1968 on race, economic inequality, far right and far left politics and down in the mud politics that doesn't debate issues but personal demagoguery. 

Buckley ran for mayor of NYC and discovered the angry white man as his main constituency, sound familiar Donald J. Trump.
