Movie: Best of Enemies Buckley vs Vidal (2015)
Film Synopsis:
A documentary about a legendary series of nationally televised debates in 1968 between two great public intellectuals, the liberal Gore Vidal and the conservative William F. Buckley Jr. The modern era of public discourse in media, marks a major moment in our contemporary media landscape when spectacle trumps content and argument replaces substance. The best enemies delve into the entangled biographies of these two great thinkers, and are lavish in the language and theater of their debates, begging the question, "What has television done to the way we discuss politics in our democracy today?"
