Best of Enemies

by James Graham
directed by Jeremy Herrin
inspired by the documentary by Morgan Neville and Robert Gordon

David Harewood (Homeland) and Zachary Quinto (Star Trek) play feuding political rivals in
James Graham’s (Sherwood) multiple award-winning new drama.

In 1968 America, as two men fight to become the next president, all eyes are on the battle
between two others: the cunningly conservative William F. Buckley Jr., and the unruly liberal Gore Vidal.

During a new nightly television format, they debate the moral landscape of a shattered
nation. As beliefs are challenged and slurs slung, a new frontier in American politics is
opening and television news is about to be transformed forever.
Jeremy Herrin (All My Sons) directs this blistering political thriller, filmed live in London’s
West End.

Duration: 145 mins (including a 20-minute interval)
