Includes a conversation with Taraji P. Henson and writer/director/producer Robin Bissell

Film Independent Presents – in partnership with KCRW

Based on a true story, Best of Enemies centers on the unlikely relationship between Ann Atwater (Taraji P. Henson), an outspoken civil rights activist, and C.P. Ellis (Sam Rockwell), a local Ku Klux Klan leader who reluctantly co-chaired a community summit, battling over the desegregation of schools in Durham, North Carolina during the racially-charged summer of 1971. The incredible events that unfolded would change Durham and the lives of Atwater and Ellis forever.

2019, 137 min, color, DCP | Based on the book by Osha Gray Davidson; written/directed/produced by Robin Bissell; With Taraji P. Henson, Sam Rockwell, Wes Bentley, Anne Heche and Bruce McGill
